Beautiful trail along the banks of the Sèvre. The section before this trail is quite rough, with a section where you have to carry your bike, so it's a bit dangerous. But if you like adventure, go for it :)

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.

Remarkable viewpoint over Monnieres, Le Pallet and beyond. The municipality installed interpretation panels in the fall of 2022. Outside the mill, furniture whose style evokes the old wings of the mill and which highlights the history of the mill, its mechanism while also highlighting the tourist attractions of the Vineyard. Inside the mill, on the 2 floors, orientation tables in enameled lava present the different sites visible from the mill while evoking the work of the vineyard over the 4 seasons. On site, a picnic table. The site is only accessible on foot or by bike. Nearest parking at the Tuileries pond. https://www.levignobledenantes-tourisme.com/patrimoine-naturel/point-de-vue-du-moulin-de-la-miniere/

A viewpoint as astonishing as it is impressive stands out from the cliff 30 meters above the Pont Caffino leisure center. Put your feet on the ground to discover the magnificent panorama of the vineyards and the Maine valley.
