ラ・ルモディエールのおすすめウォーキング＆ハイキングルート

Small path ending with a pretty panorama.

La Ducherie was once crossed by a Roman road. There still remains a dam, now covered by water and moss, and a bridge, still visible. In July 1828, the Duchess of Berry, wanting to drink a bowl of milk on a farm, stopped in this delightful ravine. She still had funds to distribute for the department she was leaving. According to tradition, she filled a soup tureen with it, and the peasants who discovered it were happy and surprised. https://mairie-laregrippiere.fr/fr/rb/213319/patrimoine-16

Archaeological site unearthed in 2020 by villagers who, while clearing a low wall, realized that they were on a vast terraced wall 60 meters long. These dry stone walls are spread out over a height of 40 meters on the hillside. The origin, probably Celtic, remains uncertain and the function very mysterious. Military? Agricultural? Religious? Druidic? A bit of everything at once? This complex is part of a very pleasant natural site on the banks of the Divatte River. Numerous picnic tables, toilets and drinking water.

The Petit Anjou was a secondary railway network with metre gauge, located in the departments of Loire-Atlantique (formerly Loire-Inférieure) and Maine-et-Loire, in service from 1893 to 1910 and closed in 1948. It was first operated by the Compagnie des Chemins de fer de l'Anjou then, from 1928, by the Société générale des chemins de fer économiques (SE). https://fr.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Petit_Anjou

This place of worship, also known as the Grotte de Lourdes, in homage of course to the famous Pyrenean cave, overlooks the Divatte, in a particularly pleasant, green and shaded site, equipped with picnic tables. The single track that runs along the river is passable by mountain bike or gravel, but it seems very popular with hikers.

Shaded and narrow path with the necessary slope to make it technically very interesting. On the other hand, in winter, it can become a real quagmire and a real ordeal to get out of it!!

Private chapel. Located in the hamlet of the same name, the Romanesque chapel of Aubinière was built in the 18th century and renovated before the Revolution. It is the chapel of the old destroyed manor of the same name. It was built on the initiative of René Fournier, priest of the Saint-Nicolas church in Nantes, who later became bishop of the diocese of Nantes. It contains a Madonna and Child from the same period. The chapel had the particularity of having inside, at the peak of the roof, a sun, which has now disappeared. https://www.petitfute.com/v27537-la-boissiere-du-dore-44430/c1173-visites-points-d-interet/c925-edifice-religieux/c927-eglise-cathedrale-basilique-chapelle/254375- the-chapelle-de-l-aubiniere.html

The Thurinet bridge, known as the Gallo-Roman bridge, on the path to Landemont. This bridge is in fact only a replica of the original: it was dear to the hearts of local residents. In poor condition, torn away by other major floods in 2001, regional and local subsidies made it possible to find it.
