Some thirty kilometres south-east of Le Mans, bordering the village of Jupilles, Bercé National Forest is one of the most beautiful forests in France. It covers 5,400 hectares and is made up of 3,000 hectares of oaks and 2,400 hectares of conifers.
Famous for the quality of its oak trees, this verdant territory boasts some remarkable specimens, which can reach a height of fifty metres! To admire them, head to Les Clos Forest, a protected area full of immense old oaks, over 300 years old...
Take a path or trail, on foot, horseback or mountain bike, and take advantage of this haven of peace, which is home to 65 different bird species, to relax and enjoy some fresh air. Dotted with springs and streams, Bercé Forest also contains two beautiful natural sites for you to discover: the Hermitière Springs and La Coudre Fountain, the source of Le Dinan, complete with a discovery trail.
