ベルヴィニー周辺のアトラクション＆必見スポット - トップ20

Beautiful view of the Yon below.

On Place Napoléon in La Roche-sur-Yon, thirteen mechanical animals made of wood and steel, designed by François Delarozière and the La Machine company, populate the pools and are free for the public to handle. This mechanical zoo brings together crocodiles, hippopotamuses, dromedaries, sacred ibises, otter, owls, flamingos, frogs, and Nile perches. Each animal has a control station that allows different parts of its body to be activated (wings, mouth, legs, etc.). Visitors, young and old, can bring these works to life using hydraulic, pneumatic, or mechanical systems. The animals spit water, move, or interact according to the wishes of passersby. The activity is designed to be interactive, fun, and educational, supervised by "veterinarians" to guide visitors. The animals are inspired by a bestiary that is half-Egyptian and half-Vendean, paying homage to local history and biodiversity.

It was here, in wooden huts, that the civilian population fled General Turreau's infernal columns. From the road, you can't see much, but the visit seems interesting. A pretty pond is nearby with picnic tables and a small bar serving drinks and ice cream.

Warm welcome

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

Super course with small wild coves, clean and well maintained path. Be careful with some slightly technical passages. Needed to get off the bike twice on short rocky bars.

I regularly go around the Papon mill lake, a marvel of hiking...I recommend...

This dam was built in 1970 and, fortunately for us runners, it is thanks to this dam that the Lac du Moulin Papon exists and that we can enjoy it.
