It is a good observatory to assess the level of the Loire, and more particularly during the drought of summer 2022.

Eglise Saint Augustin Des Bois
Highlight • Other
The bell tower now houses three bells: Pauline, Louise, and Bernadette. The stained-glass window in the center of the chancel was a gift from Mr. and Mrs. de la Perrière.
In 1789, the parish of Saint-Augustin-des-Bois was renamed, like all other parishes bearing the name of a saint. It was then called "Le Grand Bois" (The Great Wood). The grievance notebooks provide us with information about village life: “The poor abound among the hemp growers, as well as among the tenant farmers and sharecroppers scattered throughout the woods and heathland, who saw their work reduced to nothing by the invasions of does, stags, badgers, wild boars, rabbits, partridges… all sorts of predatory animals that destroy rural property.”
The presbytery, for its part, was acquired by the municipality in 1825, and the cemetery was moved outside the village in 1808.
