Tips from the Community
The Port de la Ramée is a lovely place to take breaks during your bike ride. However, the climb is steep, as is the descent, so remember to use your brakes wisely ;)

It's a particularly steep climb, even if it's short it stings!

The municipality installed interpretive panels in the fall of 2022. Outside the mill, furniture reminiscent of the old mill sails showcases the mill's history and mechanism, while also promoting the vineyard's tourist attractions. Inside the mill, on both floors, glazed lava orientation tables present the various sites visible from the mill while evoking the work of the vineyard throughout the four seasons. A picnic table is available on site. The site is only accessible on foot or by bicycle. Nearest parking is at the Tuileries Pond.

The modest Chapel of Saint Anne is the last vestige of the parish church of Saint Vincent. In the second half of the 11th century, the Chapel of Saint Anne was built. It adjoins the southern flank of a pre-existing castle chapel, probably contemporary with the keep, which dates from the late 10th or early 11th century. At an undetermined date, the two chapels were extended westward and became the chevet of the parish church of Saint Vincent. This extension was completed before 1646, the date at which a drawing by L. Doomer, preserved at the Dobrée Museum in Nantes, shows the complete building. In 1683, Archdeacon Binet described the dilapidated Church of Saint Vincent and the choir on the verge of ruin. No one dared touch it because it belonged to the lord of La Galissonnière and Le Pallet. We can therefore assume that the nave itself belongs to the parish, which is responsible for its upkeep. The choir, a former castle chapel, disappeared during the Revolution. The old church was razed in 1853, and only the Sainte-Anne chapel was spared thanks to the intervention of Prosper Mérimée. A new church was built on a new site in the village, reusing the stones from the old building. In addition to its dilapidated condition, the old church had the disadvantage of being located far from the village. The chapel was listed as a historical monument in 1941 (decree of August 9). It was restored in 1957. NOTE: THE CHURCH HAS BEEN CLOSED SINCE JULY 23, 2018, FOR INDEFINITE WORK.

The flower-filled hamlet of Pé de Sèvre, with its 17 exterior staircases, is a typical winegrowing village. The old stone houses are all built according to the same model: the ground floor is used for storing wine, and the upper floor is for living.

With its eight meters in circumference, this magnificent roadside tree is the largest giant sequoia in Loire Atlantique. It's still far from the French record, which stands at 13 meters, and light years away from the largest sequoias in California. Its father, Hercules, is 31 meters tall!
