A large medieval castle. It features themed shows, including siege engine demonstrations.

Beautiful pond surrounded by magnificent trees. Plenty of benches that encourage rest or contemplation. A welcome little patch of greenery after crossing the vineyard in the full sun. A trail allows you to go around the natural site, but I didn't have time to try it. Note that the path that connects La Fauvette to La Pontereau is very smooth and magnificent.

Another beautiful site on the Sèvre Nantaise, with the unusual feature this time: it's not only at the crossroads of three departments (LA, Vendée, and M&L), a rather common occurrence, but also of three former provinces: Brittany, Poitou, and Anjou. The crossroads is formed by the Sèvre on one side and its tributary, the Bon Débit, on the other. The inn of the same name looks very nice; in any case, the setting is splendid.

Magnificent site with this restored watermill, whose wheel still turns. I don't know if it's the case all year round, but when I was there (mid-May) you could easily cross the river using the footbridge.

Typical village with its old stone mill and its footbridge. Rousselin takes its name from the fact that flax was retted here.

Charming site with an old mill and a footbridge which allows you to span the Sèvre to join the Chemin de la Guignardière (steep and mostly mountain bike).

The thick walls and 18 towers clinging tightly to the granite spur protected the fortress from enemy attacks to this day. In the castle built in the 12th century, the weapons of war are still ready for battle, at that time there were 16 medieval machines, including the largest trebuchet (the trebuchet is a seesaw with a power and load arm) in France with a firing height of over 160 meters!
