Path a little narrow and on the edge of a void, not suitable for everyone

The Mere Trail winds through a picturesque landscape, offering a glimpse of the local flora and fauna. You will experience the serenity of the Mere River as you stop to enjoy the peace and quiet.

This lake is actually a reservoir resulting from the dam on the Vendée river. There are activities to do like fishing, kayaking and swimming (the water is often silty).

Among the trees and by the river you will find this magical bridge that makes you feel like you are in another world.

A really nice place to take a break from your run and enjoy this lake for a while. Nice view of the lake.

The Vendée is backed by its dam and these beautifully framed photos are available to you during your hikes on its banks.

Pretty shaded road which crosses the national forest of Mervent-Vouvant. It runs alongside then crosses the Mother which brings a welcome freshness in summer.
