Developed in 1956 at Roche Lima in an old quarry on the edge of the Divatte, this "Sacred Grotto" (or Grotto of Lourdes) is a verdant, peaceful place of worship and pilgrimage, ideally located on the Haute Divatte hiking circuit.

The Moulin de la Robinière was an old water mill located on the banks of the Divatte in the commune of **La Remaudière**, which is actually in **Loire-Atlantique (44)** — right on the border of Maine-et-Loire (49) — and which today gives its name to a pleasant walking circuit of about 6 to 7 kilometers through vineyards and shaded paths.

La Ducherie was once crossed by a Roman road. There still remains a dam, now covered by water and moss, and a bridge, still visible. In July 1828, the Duchess of Berry, wanting to drink a bowl of milk on a farm, stopped in this delightful ravine. She still had funds to distribute for the department she was leaving. According to tradition, she filled a soup tureen with it, and the peasants who discovered it were happy and surprised. https://mairie-laregrippiere.fr/fr/rb/213319/patrimoine-16

The Petit Anjou was a secondary railway network with metre gauge, located in the departments of Loire-Atlantique (formerly Loire-Inférieure) and Maine-et-Loire, in service from 1893 to 1910 and closed in 1948. It was first operated by the Compagnie des Chemins de fer de l'Anjou then, from 1928, by the Société générale des chemins de fer économiques (SE). https://fr.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Petit_Anjou

The so-called "Gallo-Roman" bridge was a stage on the Celtic road Rouen-Ancenis-Bordeaux. It is sometimes called the Gallo-Roman bridge or the Julius Caesar bridge on the pretext that the Roman general would have used a bridge prior to this one, intended only for pedestrians. However, during work carried out in 2017, the architect of Historical Monuments and that of Buildings of France called on a historian and the so-called Gallo-Roman bridge is rather attested as a bridge from the early Middle Ages. Remains of a Roman road nearby, as well as the materials used, wrongly gave its name to this bridge which, according to the results of this historical study, does not date from the Roman era, but is much more recent. It would in fact date from the Romanesque era (7th century). It has four unequal arches. Each pier is flanked by a spur. Downstream, this spur does not rise to the deck; it rises above it, which gives it a very particular appearance and makes it unique in the west. It was partly restored in the Middle Ages. An ogival arch is proof of this. It was listed in the inventory of Historic Monuments by decree dated May 14, 1925. Following floods that weakened it in 2014-2015, it was completely restored in 2018 and now allows a gentle connection with a pedestrian and secure crossing. https://www.levignobledenantes-tourisme.com/patrimoine-culturel/pont-gallo-romain/

This place of worship, also known as the Grotte de Lourdes, in homage of course to the famous Pyrenean cave, overlooks the Divatte, in a particularly pleasant, green and shaded site, equipped with picnic tables. The single track that runs along the river is passable by mountain bike or gravel, but it seems very popular with hikers.
