Roz-Landrieux can be approached through two distinct aspects that are useful for trip planning: the landscape of the Marais de Dol and specific routes and religious sites. These themes emphasize different things: you can explore the area through its nature, a described route or local religious traditions. For your trip planning, the specific differences are helpful: the marshland provides a geographical context, the routes give you a starting point, itinerary or approximate length, and the religious sites offer their own cultural and historical context.

Marshland and nature

Part of the Roz-Landrieux area extends across the Marais de Dol, also known as the Marais noir. Both names refer to the same marshland. The Marais de Dol is an area of great ecological diversity. The Prés de Graslin also stand out for their wide variety of plants and animals. This means that an ecologically diverse marshland and the flora and fauna of the Prés de Graslin offer two distinct ways to experience nature. Since the Marais de Dol extends only partly across Roz-Landrieux, the commune and the marshland are connected but do not cover the same area.

Routes with different planning markers

The Circuit des Bruyères starts at the Place de l’église in Roz-Landrieux and passes through Mont-Dol and Hirel. This gives you a specific starting point and a route through three places. The circuit is also designated for mountain biking. If you plan to use it for this purpose, check the latest access information in advance.

The Circuit de la Croix de la Pimorais is about 10 km long. The two routes can be distinguished by their different planning markers: for the Circuit des Bruyères, you can use the starting point and route as a guide; for the Circuit de la Croix de la Pimorais, you can use the approximate distance. The distance in kilometers helps you assess the scope of an outing alongside other plans for the day.

Church, pilgrimage and historical monuments

The Église Saint Pierre Apôtre is located in Roz-Landrieux. The Oratoire de Vildé-Bidon is a pilgrimage site for the residents of Roz-Landrieux and the surrounding villages. Its significance is therefore local, while also extending beyond the commune. The religious character of the area can be explored through both a specific church and a pilgrimage tradition.

The Circuit des Bruyères passes the Calvaire du Vieux Cimetière near the church. The Calvaire du Vieux Cimetière dates from the 16th to 17th centuries; the Calvaire du Prieuré dates from the 16th century. The dates overlap in the 16th century, while the dating of the Vieux Cimetière also includes the 17th century. This distinguishes the route’s connection to one historical monument from the dating of another named calvaire.
