Church of Our Lady of Tiffauges

Highlight • Religious Site

A recent (18th century) but rather pretty church. It can be seen from afar as it stands on a high slope in the Sèvres. The square is pleasant, with restrooms and drinking water located under the medieval market halls.
There are a few beautiful old houses on Grande Rue and Rue de l’Aumônerie.
Note: The Chemin du Gaberneau is not suitable for cycling (stairs).

Moulin du Bas Charbonneau

Highlight • Monument

This mill on the Sèvre Nantaise is attested in 1687. Magnificently restored. A site of great beauty.

Valley of the Three Provinces

Highlight • Monument

This passage over a bridge in this valley dug by the Sèvre Nantaise is located at the exact confluence of the 3 municipalities and departments each representing one of the 3 historical provinces: Boussay, Loire Atlantique (44) for Brittany, Torfou, Maine and Loire (49) for Anjou, La Bruffière, Vendée (85) for Poitou.
It is a peaceful valley with an inn. On the map, this place is found under its real name: "La Grossière", but it is still less elegant...
For cyclists, it's an opportunity to go uphill with also 3 choices: a gentler slope (approximately 4 or 5%) going towards Torfou and Maine et Loire, steeper (6 to 8%) going towards the Bruffière and the Vendée, and can be even a little steeper (6 to 9%) on the small road which goes up towards the north and allows to branch off towards Boussay and the Loire Atlantique.

Beaumont

Highlight • Viewpoint

Beautiful views of the Sèvre Nantaise River and the castle walls in the distance. The path connecting Beaumont to the Trois Provinces is passable by mountain bike and gravel, but the terrain is difficult and there are some elevation changes.
