Built around 1545, the Moulin de la Pâquelais is a remarkable building located to the east of Savenay. After a restoration in 1991, the mill became functional again. It has been listed as a historic monument since 1996.

Hiking

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.

Gravel riding

Old mill dating from the 16th century. Located on private property, but relatively visible from the road. Whether you climb up from Angellerais by road or via the GR3 trail, it will require a good effort.
