Very good roads with bike lanes.

I think the direction Grues-Lairoux is more fun, as it is longer downhill

A wonderful road from Saint-Michel-en-l'Herm to the Atlantic. It's relatively quiet here, and the "mountain village" of La Dive is a lovely eye-catcher.

We pass under the Dive, an island perched above a sea of cereals... https://www.vendeedusud.com/visites/lile-de-la-dive/

This isolated tower is an old keep built on the Moricq castle mound. The castle to which it was attached no longer exists today.

The Tour de Moricq has always been surrounded by legends. It was once said that an underground passage would connect it to the Angles church. Also, strange signs engraved on the north facade are said to be a plan to find a treasure buried in its depths. According to tradition, it would be a golden chest which would only be accessible at the time of the Sanctus of Midnight Mass, at Christmas. According to another legend, the tower was built by fairies in a single night.

This ancient island in the Gulf of Pictons now overlooks the cereal fields from around fifteen meters. It offers a lovely view of Aiguillon Bay, La Rochelle and the Île de Ré bridge.

Classified as a Historic Monument in 1915. Originally a sentinel at the edge of the mainland, then a prison and finally a granary, the Moricq Tower has suffered greatly, throughout its history, from the repeated insults of time and men. For more information on visits: 02 51 97 56 39
