Nice little spot to sit and have a snack peacefully by the water. It's right on the voie verte

The church of Saint-Pierre and Saint-Paul has stood in the center of the village since the end of the 15th century, according to historical data. It includes a polygonal choir and an east-facing nave. The religious building was enriched with two chapels and an aisle in the following two centuries. The bell tower, located in the center of the nave, was demolished and replaced by a tower in 1840. The church houses several statues from the chapel of Saint-Nicodème de la Grande Touche in Guilliers, such as that of Sainte-Apolline, dating from the 16th century.

You can probably figure this out, but combining the camping in St Lery (another Highlight added nearby) with the dining possibilities of Mauron would make this a great overnight place for a camping trip.

When I rolled through here at 11:30 on a Wednesday, 2 things became apparent: 1) Mauron is a beautiful little town/large village, oozing cool, clean charm. 2) Unlike some other places, there are numerous refreshment possibilities all grouped around a small square near the church. In no particular order, I spotted a small cafe (or possibly bar), a place selling Galettes á emporter, a boulangjerie-pattiserie, a boucherie offering plats cuisinés and a slightly forlorn looking van selling pizza. The boulangerie was obviously popular, with a queue coming out the door, so I joined it, and availed of the formula sandwich, with a baguette stuffed with jambon-fromage, a religeuse caramel and a bonus cannette of Orangina. while I devoured those for the next 15 - 20 minutes, the crowds kept coming - In the short period I spent in Mauron (|30 minutes), maybe 40+ people came and went from the shop. Most carried out various configurations of pains, some with sandwiches and/or viennoiseries as well.
