Undulating course on departmental road walk with caution. The old paths have disappeared in favour of intensive cultivation. Cereal fields give a certain monotony to this short stage.

Nestled in the valley of the Ernée, near Chailland, the park and garden of the Château de Clivoy (classified as a "Remarkable Garden") opens, from May to September, the doors to a world as timeless. From the noble vegetable garden with greenhouse, pond, orangery... to the rocky ramparts of the old military post. From the six hectares of the English park to the footpaths...
The castle offers you a gîte in its outbuildings.
Bourg de Chailland - Amis saint Colomban TouristChailland in Mayenne
Chailland is mentioned around 1085, in the cartulary of Ronceray d'Angers. In the 16th century the town suffered the disasters of the wars of religion. Land of breeding and culture, the city prospered with the establishment of forges from the 17th century. The presence of forests and the river Ernée justified the installation of the Forges de Chailland. At the start of your next stage on the via Columbani you can cross the old site of the Forges.
Cardinal de Mazarin bought the forge in 1657 and it has since remained an outbuilding of the Duchy of Mayenne. During the Revolution, the forge employed 500 workers and 400 horses and mules.
The neo-gothic church of Chailland (1892) was built in the style of the 13th century to replace a Romanesque church.
