    A water reservoir on the Sèvre Nantaise. A very nice place.

    It is the work of the monks of the Saint-Martin de Vertou abbey. They build, at Chêne, around the year 1000, a ford connecting on dry feet the two banks of the Nantes Sèvre. The causeway also acts as a dam, maintaining sufficient water upstream to allow navigation to Monnières and Château-Thébaud. Over the centuries, the monks collect taxes on the goods that cross the causeway and rent the watermill they also built.
    The site is currently undergoing major renovations.
    Many visitors on a walk, especially on Sunday afternoons.
