Dating from the 19th century, the Veurière (or Saint-Anne) lime kilns are Angevin industrial buildings located in Angrie (Maine-et-Loire), about fifteen kilometers southwest of Segré. Angevin lime production developed in the 19th century and left its mark on the landscape of the department. In Angrie, a locality in Segréen, there were several industrial activities: marble quarries (La Verrière), slate quarries (La Boue, La Grée des Cerisiers), iron mine (La Roserie), antimony mine (Grand-Bois ), as well as lime kilns. A rural country, agricultural activity is very present, notably with cereal crops. A lime kiln is mentioned there at the end of the 18th century, and others in Dérouères and La Fresnaie at the beginning of the 19th century. Those of La Veurière, located between Angrie and Vern-d'Anjou, were built at the beginning of the 19th century, and mentioned in 1832 and 1857. They include three large units, with three ovens around fifteen meters high. Boilermaking activity was important before the First World War, of which there were around fifteen sites in the Angrie and Vern-d'Anjou sector. They ceased their activity in the middle of the 20th century. The Chaufournier site of La Veuvrière is a protected heritage site. The lime kilns and access ramp are listed as Historic Monuments by decree of March 25, 1980. This disused industrial establishment is the property of a private person. It is possible to visit the site, as well as the chapel and the Saint-Pierre ovens source: https://www.wiki-anjou.fr/index.php/Fours_%C3%A0_chaux_de_la_Veuri%C3%A8re

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
