To help you in your quest, here is the story of their arrival in the Coëvrons. Good luck!

Once upon a time, a group of mysterious little creatures, our famous night ghosts, decided to embark on an adventure during their vacation in the Coëvrons region. These intrepid bats weren't about to be bored, so they headed north towards the Bois du Tay forest . There, even though they gave up on their off-road electric scooters (it's not really their thing!), they strolled among the majestic trees, took the time to admire the charming chapel nestled in the heart of the forest, before settling down peacefully for the night in one of the cozy accommodations. A peaceful night for our friends, but their adventure was only just beginning!

The next morning, after a good night's rest, some of the bats, the most food-loving ones, decided to stop at the La Fenderie restaurant in Deux-Évailles. There, they feasted on delicious food, ready to face the day. Once satisfied, our adventurers set off towards the GuĂ© de Selle in MĂ©zangers. There, they met up with the rest of the family, who had opted for a picnic in the shade of a covered area. Together, they then embarked on a 17 km hike through the rolling landscapes of the CoĂ«vrons region, until they reached the summit of Montaigu . What an incredible view awaited them from up there! After admiring the breathtaking panorama, they decided to spend the night nearby at the Montaigu refuge. And that's where a bat, passionate about stories, organized a storytelling evening, sharing local legends, notably that of the mysterious Ghost of the Green Lady at the Rocher castle, near MĂ©zangers. Night was falling, but their thirst for discovery was not yet quenched!

In the following days, our little ghosts were captivated by the charm of Sainte-Suzanne , listed among the Most Beautiful Villages of France. They wandered through the cobbled streets, fascinated by the history emanating from every stone. After a visit to the castle with its imposing medieval keep, they made a quick stop at the church to pay homage to Saint Suzanne, the patron saint of engaged couples. But their journey didn't end there! They were then spotted in Saint-Pierre-sur-Erve , quenching their thirst
 in the Erve River, rather than at the village bistro! Finally, our winged adventurers headed towards the Erve Valley and its famous Saulges Caves . Between a caving expedition in the Margot and Rochefort caves and a fascinating visit to the Museum of Prehistory, the bats concluded their adventure in style, flitting between legends, heritage, and nature. The story goes that they fell under the spell of the Coëvrons region, to the point of making it their primary residence. Although these adventurous creatures sometimes wander to other lands, the ghosts of the night always return to the Coëvrons, where they feel right at home. They've even hidden themselves on a few pages of the Tourist Office website, to reveal their favorite spots!

Perhaps you too will come across these ghosts of the night while hiking or strolling in the CoĂ«vrons
