These old windmills are the best proof that humans were clever enough to harness the power of the wind for a number of centuries - long before the discovery of electricity and the inventions that followed. So what is celebrated today as modern (so-called green or renewable) energy is basically old hat in a new guise.

The Lac de la Vallée Mabille is an ideal place to run. The tracks are impeccable thanks in particular to the GR3 which runs along its banks.

The Lac de la Vallée Mabille, or Lac de Savenay, is a beautiful artificial reservoir that is worth a detour. By bike, you can easily go around the southern part (south of the road) by a wide and well-maintained wooded path. On the other hand, the northern part, wilder and quite rugged, is more for hiking than cycling. Crossing at the dam can be done using a footbridge.
