Tour de Buzay

Highlight • Monument

This impressive tower in the middle of nowhere, in reality an old bell tower, is in fact the last vestige of a very large and rich abbey, destroyed in 1795 …

Chemin de la Vesquerie

Highlight • Trail

Smooth, shaded path. Beautiful views of the surrounding countryside. I really like it.
A little damp in places.
Can be combined with the Bréva Trail to the west and the Rébris Trail and the Moulin Châtelier Trail to the east.

Haute Perche Canal

Highlight • Other

The Haute Perche Canal is actually a river that flows into the ocean at the port of Pornic. The promenade is well-maintained and very pleasant. It's easy to explore on foot or by bike.
Many hikers on weekends.

Val Saint-Martin Pond

Highlight • Lake

I was able to follow the east bank on a gravel bike without a problem. The zipline that flies over the pond looks particularly nice.
