Nice view of this pond, formed by a bottleneck in the upstream part of the Goulaine marsh.

Magnificent view of the marsh and Nantes in the distance. The descent is a little sporty, but that's also why we did the climb.

December 29, 2025,Procé <-> Marais de Goulaine - les buttes - La Sèvre

Mud, pebbles, and vine cuttings made for a run with "the morning's positive energy," but the negative feeling lasted for 4 hours 🤭. Some muddy paths and less-than-sorry farm tracks made this route much more enjoyable in good weather 😉 Post-"marathon-capon" chill mode and limited traction on the muddy paths meant skating in places!
