The location of the famous festival dedicated to hard rock, heavy metal and other music that makes the eardrums vibrate very strongly... With its gauge of 180,000 festival-goers over 3 days, the Hellfest takes place in this 14-hectare park, this which makes it one of the biggest festivals in France.
The permanent decorations remain here in free access until the next edition.

Trinity Church

Highlight • Religious Site

Oldest church in Clisson. Of Romanesque architecture, it does not differ from the Italian style of the city. Below are the pretty Garenne Valentin park and the Moine river.
Public toilets across the street.

Leaning Stone Pine of Rue de la Collégiale

Highlight • Natural Monument

A remarkable and emblematic tree of the city of Clisson, this umbrella pine naturally leaned over to get the light from the other side of the street, then twisted to avoid the roof of the house opposite. But this inclination is not without consequences for the tree and its surroundings. In recent years, the wall on which it is installed has been cracking and the pavement below is increasingly heaving in places. Cables were installed to hold the specimen but they were no longer sufficient to prevent a possible collapse.
However, the solution has been found: the trunk is now surrounded at its base by a colored metal frame made by the sculptor JF Buisson and financed by the Hellfest festival on behalf of the municipality.

And by the way, it's quite a steep climb from the sides of the castle...

Château de Clisson

Highlight • Castle

This medieval castle which has gone through a lot of torments and whose traces are still visible today. It is a feat that he still proudly dominates the city after all that Men have done to destroy him.

The Arsenal

Highlight • Bridge

Some beautiful photos to be taken, from the bridge or the south bank, on the site of this former mill, then forge, then paper mill, then spinning mill, and now a residential area. The Sèvre is very beautiful, with many rocks.
The path along the Sèvre towards Clisson Castle is passable by bike (except for a staircase in one place). However, it can quickly become crowded with walkers.

Liveau Paper Mill (right bank)

Highlight • Historical Site

The last witness to the region's papermaking activity, the association "For graphic arts in Vallée de Clisson" has been working since 1998 with local communities to revive the 19th century papermaking activity at Liveau in Gorges. The Moulin du Liveau is a superb example of the Italianate architecture of the region.
