After a first visit to scout out the shop that made us want to come back, here we are back 2 months later on a little bike trip. We have valuable luggage and bikes. So we go in with our bikes in hand to see if it would be possible to put them away. The time it took us to approach the shop, a guy arrives in a van and without saying hello or any other formalities, tells us that our bikes have no place there. Very well sir, if bikes are not welcome, neither are we, goodbye to Mine Bleue 😤

The tour of the body of water is very interesting. There is a wealth of subsoil and an associated history, well presented by explanatory panels.

The Saint-Aubin pond, fed by the Verzée, is a pond located in the French commune of Pouancé, in the department of Maine-et-Loire. Probably before the 12th century, the Saint-Aubin pond, covering 42 hectares, is divided into the Saint-Aubin pond, the Saint-Jacques pond and the Pouancé pond. history : From the twelfth century, the priory of Madeleine had fishing tithe rights on the Pouancé ponds. At the beginning of the 13th century, the lord of Pouancé, William III, decided to establish a dike on the Verzée, thus creating the Pouancé pond, at the foot of the medieval castle[3]. A pier was built on the Saint-Aubin pond to allow the parishioners of Pouancé to access the parish church of Saint-Aubin de Pouancé. This levee is, however, often submerged[4]. In 1977, the commune of Pouancé developed the body of water into a nautical base by building a beach and a campsite nearby. source: https://fr.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/%C3%89tang_de_Saint-Aubin
