Owned by the Departmental Council, the Bois de Buis is easily accessible from the parking lot of the Moulin du Liveau site, located along the RD 113, near the Château de l'Oiselinière. This woodland was once the grounds of the Château de l'Oiselinière, which is situated on the slopes of the Sèvre River in Nantes. The site was left to nature for about fifty years, before being purchased by the Department in 2007. In 2014, the former park was restored to create structures that will allow visitors to better appreciate this natural setting, where some one hundred animal and plant species thrive. It features a scenic lookout overlooking the Sèvre River and offers panoramic views of the village of Gorges. Activities and guided tours are regularly organized for the public. This site is classified as a sensitive natural area. Surface area (in m²): 30,000 m² (3 ha) Play area: No Bowling court: No Pets allowed: Yes Bathrooms: Yes (near the Moulin du Liveau) Other: For more information, visit the Loire-Atlantique nature walks website.

The last remaining witness to the region's papermaking industry, the association "Pour les arts graphiques en Vallée de Clisson" (For Graphic Arts in the Clisson Valley) has been working with local authorities since 1998 to revive the 19th-century papermaking industry at Le Liveau in Gorges. The Moulin du Liveau is a superb example of the region's Italianate architecture. With the active support of local authorities, the mill, owned by the municipality of Gorges, was restored to its original purpose as a paper mill. This magnificent site on the Sèvre Nantaise River in the Clisson Valley opened to the public in spring 2015. MORE THAN A MUSEUM, IT'S A LIVING WORKSHOP The association "Pour les arts graphiques en Vallée de Clisson" offers activities centered around the history and manufacture of paper. Children and adults alike can discover the mechanisms of the paper mill, handcraft their own sheets of paper, and learn about printing. An informative journey through history, accompanied by the ever-present pleasure of playfully recreating the gestures of the past. Inside, a hammer mill powered by a paddle wheel driven by the Sèvre River evokes the preparation of paper pulp from rags. Visitors can also practice calligraphy, participate in writing workshops, take bookbinding courses, and enjoy many other activities.

Surely the oldest mill in the Clisson valley, it has been a cloth, fulling and flour mill for more than 600 years. Rebuilt in 1949 following its destruction by fire, it ceased its activity, but kept its mechanism intact. Today, the mill welcomes young people from the leisure center, as well as the Pallet game library. On the occasion of special events, such as heritage days, the mill can open its doors to discover its history. https://www.levignobledenantes-tourisme.com/patrimoine-culturel/le-moulin-de-gervaux/
