Start of the 2011 Translayon in Cléré-sur-Layon
The Translayon is an annual festival that highlights the attractions of the Layon Valley. The 2012 edition runs from 2nd to 10th June with most of the events happening on the two weekends. It includes a three day walk down the Layon, which CRM and I did last year. We covered around 90 kilometres starting in Clere-sur-Layon and finishing in Challonnes, where the Layon flows into the Loire.
