I think the direction Grues-Lairoux is more fun, as it is longer downhill

A lovely dirt road for driving out of St-Denis. A pleasant and traffic-calmed alternative to the D60 ramp.

A wonderful road between St-Denis-du-Payré and Chasnais. Unlike the roads towards the coast, this one is a bit more varied: winding, undulating, and shady. Very beautiful!

A magical place in Lavaud, combining the pleasure of cycling and a relaxing break at the foot of the Eiffel Bridge at the Guinguette de l'Aubraie

This isolated tower is an old keep built on the Moricq castle mound. The castle to which it was attached no longer exists today.

The Tour de Moricq has always been surrounded by legends. It was once said that an underground passage would connect it to the Angles church. Also, strange signs engraved on the north facade are said to be a plan to find a treasure buried in its depths. According to tradition, it would be a golden chest which would only be accessible at the time of the Sanctus of Midnight Mass, at Christmas. According to another legend, the tower was built by fairies in a single night.
