The Randonnée Châtaignes et Vin Nouveau begins at the Salle des Courtils in Vihiers, located in Lys-Haut-Layon, Maine-et-Loire, and takes place in late October. This event primarily features walking routes, with marked paths typically measuring 8, 11, 15, and 20 kilometers. Additional longer routes are available for road bikes, mountain bikes, and gravel bikes. Participants can register on the morning of the event, and coffee and brioche are provided before the routes commence.
