Top 6 Natural Monuments around La Bruffière

Bultière Lake is an artificial reservoir. The Bultière Dam was built in 1994. It is located in the commune of Chavagne en paillers. It supplies the drinking water network. Its surface area is 72 hectares and contains 5.2 million cubic meters of water. It is possible to walk around the lake via a 15-km trail. This lake, with its exceptionally rich fish population, awaits you with almost every type of fish (perch, pike, zander, catfish, carp, roach, bream, tench, etc.). You can go predator fishing from the shore or from a boat to catch zander, pike, and catfish. It is, of course, possible to still fish for roach, bleak, or bream. Carp are also present in this lake. A night carp fishing route located on the right bank in the Maurosière sector will delight those who love a good catch.

Beautiful pond surrounded by magnificent trees. Plenty of benches that encourage rest or contemplation. A welcome little patch of greenery after crossing the vineyard in the full sun. A trail allows you to go around the natural site, but I didn't have time to try it. Note that the path that connects La Fauvette to La Pontereau is very smooth and magnificent.

The Pierre de l'Écuelle, also known as the Rochers de Mélusine, is a rather astonishing geological pile. Legend has it that the Devil's plate and knife are engraved there. Another equally credible explanation would have it that the fairy Mélusine accidentally dropped the famous stone from her apron. From the path you have to cross a fenced meadow to get there.

This vast body of water, popular for fishing and nature walks, offers an ideal setting for a bike ride along its banks. The trails surrounding the lake reveal superb views of the calm water and the surrounding hills.

You can admire these rocky buildings while strolling through the Domaine de la Garenne-Lemot park.

One story tells that the fairy Mélusine was carrying a large pebble in her thorn (her apron) when one of her straps gave way, making her the involuntary origin of the arrangement of these rocks...

A remarkable and emblematic tree of the city of Clisson, this umbrella pine naturally leaned over to get the light from the other side of the street, then twisted to avoid the roof of the house opposite. But this inclination is not without consequences for the tree and its surroundings. In recent years, the wall on which it is installed has been cracking and the pavement below is increasingly heaving in places. Cables were installed to hold the specimen but they were no longer sufficient to prevent a possible collapse. However, the solution has been found: the trunk is now surrounded at its base by a colored metal frame made by the sculptor JF Buisson and financed by the Hellfest festival on behalf of the municipality.
