ボーンゾーでののおすすめグラベルライド

Beautiful view of the Yon below.

Great to cross the yard

The Rambourg mill, located in Nesmy near La Roche-sur-Yon, is a rare early 20th-century watermill still equipped with its original mechanisms. It ceased its milling activity in 1981 and has since been restored and opened to the public for guided tours during the summer, from July 1 to August 31, every day except Saturday. The interior of the mill can only be seen during these guided tours, allowing visitors to understand the traditional workings of the mill. The site also offers a bucolic setting conducive to relaxation, with a ford, picnic area, and walks along the banks of the Yon. The mill participates in Heritage Days with specific activities.

Please note: roadworks are underway after point 3, when crossing the D85. A U-turn is required.

In the south of La Roche-sur-Yon, the Yon takes on a green air that invites calm. Here, a charming path allows you to stay close to the water. Be careful, however, to have a bike with suitable tires.

The Vendée countryside is very beautiful with its valleys and its many hedgerows.

The Moulin Papon reservoir, near La Roche-sur-Yon, is a peaceful and green place. This vast artificial body of water is surrounded by paths suitable for cycling, offering clear views of the lake and the surrounding forest.

It’s a shame that the lake tour is not maintained, brambles and thorns sometimes require passage through the water, very narrow paths due to lack of maintenance
