On the edge of the Touraine metropolitan area, the Bois des Hâtes and its maze of paths offer calm and serenity to those who wish to venture there. The famous Via Turonensis, the road to Santiago de Compostela which links Paris to Saint-Jean-Pied-de-Port, passes through the woods.

Departing from Balzac Island, a good option for leaving the city on a paved route and on a clean road. The route continues to Montrichard on a greenway/clean lane/small road.
