Hiking
The Terrasses du Midi are ancient stone terraces that climb the hillside, facing south and offering a panoramic view of the valley. The origin and function of these terraces are still unknown, but some believe that they date back to Celtic times. You can explore the site and admire the handicraft work of the dry stone walls, as well as enjoy the natural environment of Perthuis Churin, a protected area with rich biodiversity. This is a great opportunity to discover a hidden gem of the Pays de la Loire region and immerse yourself in its history and culture.

Archaeological site unearthed in 2020 by villagers who, while clearing a low wall, realized that they were on a vast terraced wall 60 meters long. These dry stone walls are spread out over a height of 40 meters on the hillside. The origin, probably Celtic, remains uncertain and the function very mysterious. Military? Agricultural? Religious? Druidic? A bit of everything at once?
This complex is part of a very pleasant natural site on the banks of the Divatte River. Numerous picnic tables, toilets and drinking water.
