The Marche Origine is a 57 km walk between Bouaye and Pornic that revives the original route of the Atlantic'Trail. It starts at dawn on 27 February 2027 and supports a charitable cause.
The original walk was created in 1983 under the patronage of Yves Ponaire and was the spring sporting meeting for walkers and some runners. It disappeared from the calendar in 2001, and the organisers brought it back for a first edition in 2026, which attracted more than 2,600 participants.
