    A historic monument, the Temple of Friendship was built on the St Gilles hillside between 1812 and 1824. It owes its name to the friendship between François and Pierre Cacault and the sculptor François-Frédéric Lemot, initiators and creators of the Italianate architecture of Clisson at the beginning of the 19th century. Pierre Cacault wanted to build a mausoleum in memory of his brother François who died in Clisson on 10 October 1805, but, not having sufficient financial means, it was Lemot who financed the project. Pierre died in 1810. Ultimately, the tombs of the two brothers were not built, because the Cacault heirs did not authorise the transfer of their ashes to the mausoleum. François-Frédéric Lemot was buried in this tomb on 18 May 1827.
