Climb and Descent Along Lac de la Mère

Highlight (Segment) • Climb

If you're coming from Mervant, you'll have a long straight descent where speeds of 60km/h are easily obtainable before turning back round the lake for awesome views and an challenging climb up to the junction. It's a tester without being too long.

Mervent Old Castle Park

Highlight • Other

Here, the remains of the ramparts of the Lusignan castle, a medieval fortress, built at the end of the 12th century and the beginning of the 13th century. All that remains is the ramparts on the hillsides which offer a magnificent panorama of the meanders of the Mother. To fully enjoy it you have to enter the park and go behind the town hall. A perfect place for a break, the park is generally quite quiet.

Vouvant

Highlight • Other

Vouvant is labelled in Les Plus Beaux Villages de France (since 1988), as a Petite cité de caractère, and the village has obtained two flowers out of five in the Concours des villes et villages fleuris.

It is the only fortified village of Vendée, is rich in cultural and architectural heritage and has a couple of great cafes and pubs to keep you refreshed. There are also some stunning viewpoints down by the river and by the old fort.

An absolute MUST to detour here
