グラン・ランドのおすすめライド

湖沿いのとても美しい小道です。ただし、道幅が比較的狭く、週末はすぐに歩行者/自転車/犬で混雑するため、週末の自転車での走行はおすすめしません... 平日は完璧です！

guiguiがハイキングした時ほど近くには行けませんでした。道が柵で塞がれていたからです。それでもよく見えます。

Aizenay is a small part of Vendée where history sometimes invites itself in surprising ways, like this forest where an American bomber crashed in 1944, leaving a memorial made of metal plaques telling the story of this epic. But Aizenay is also the peaceful countryside where nature stretches as far as the eye can see, between farms and wooded paths. The town has managed to retain this rural charm while being well connected to La Roche-sur-Yon, its larger neighbor. Here, past and present coexist with a small nod to troubled times, once a refuge for royalists on the run. In short, a village that whispers its secrets to those who listen.

Very beautiful castle on the road.

A very beautiful 19th-century castle, particularly impressive for its two medieval-style towers. Sadly destroyed by a deadly fire in 2019, but very well restored.

13th century chapel, renowned for its Transfiguration altarpiece, dated from the 17th century and listed as a historic monument. Part of the Saint-Sauveur cultural site.

The first Apremont castle was polygonal. It was built in the 11th century on the promontory which dominates the Vie river and its valley. Rebuilt in the 16th century, it is today largely in ruins, but has preserved several imposing buildings. You can discover the history of this castle from the traces of the old medieval fortress to the Renaissance towers built in the 16th century. There are free tours as well as guided tours.

This imposing building with its beautiful stained glass windows is characteristic of the period of the law of separation of Church and State (1905). Opened for worship on Christmas Day 1905, it was consecrated in 1965 and celebrated its centenary in 2006. During restoration work undertaken at the end of 2005, under the original floor, several sarcophagi and the bases of buildings were discovered.
