It forms a 10 km long lake, the largest in Vendée.

Very beautiful trail along the lake. On the other hand, I do not recommend doing it by bike on weekends as it is relatively narrow and quickly saturated with pedestrians/cyclists/dogs... During the week it is perfect!

I couldn't get as close as guigui during his hike because a barrier blocked the path. You can see it well despite everything.

Pretty reservoir formed by the Dam in the River Vie, nice place to start a walk to visit the famous Castle. Plenty of Parking, there's a small beach, a café and lots of small boat hire available

The first Apremont castle was polygonal. It was built in the 11th century on the promontory which dominates the Vie river and its valley. Rebuilt in the 16th century, it is today largely in ruins, but has preserved several imposing buildings. You can discover the history of this castle from the traces of the old medieval fortress to the Renaissance towers built in the 16th century. There are free tours as well as guided tours.
