セーヴルモワンヌのおすすめライド

Another beautiful site on the Sèvre Nantaise, with the unusual feature this time: it's not only at the crossroads of three departments (LA, Vendée, and M&L), a rather common occurrence, but also of three former provinces: Brittany, Poitou, and Anjou. The crossroads is formed by the Sèvre on one side and its tributary, the Bon Débit, on the other. The inn of the same name looks very nice; in any case, the setting is splendid.

Possibility of visiting the site every Saturday

The Basilica of St Laurent sur Sèvre is a beautiful and historic place to visit, especially for those interested in the lives of Saint Louis de Montfort and Blessed Marie Louise Trichet, who are buried there.

Bellefontaine Abbey is a Cistercian monastery founded in 1120. You can admire the ancient architecture and the statue of the Virgin Mary donated by Pope Clement V. You can also explore the surrounding countryside, where you will find orchards, farms and woods. The abbey has a guest house where you can stay for a few days and join the monks in their prayer and work. You can also buy some of their products, such as honey, cheese and books3. Bellefontaine Abbey is a place of serenity and beauty that will inspire you and refresh your soul.

Beautiful site which allows you to see (and apparently visit) the Petit Gaumier fulling mill. On the other bank you can see the impressive Grand Gaumier building. First classic flour mill, then spinning, then finally tannery until 1985.

Tranquility and beautiful abbey

The location of the famous festival dedicated to hard rock, heavy metal and other music that makes the eardrums vibrate very strongly... With its gauge of 180,000 festival-goers over 3 days, the Hellfest takes place in this 14-hectare park, this which makes it one of the biggest festivals in France. The permanent decorations remain here in free access until the next edition.

Passage quite practicable (if you are willing to cross the Sèvre on this wooden footbridge), and pleasant to join Clisson-Gétigné and Cugand. The ascent offers a strong percentage on both sides.
