ヴァル・デュ・レイヨンのおすすめランニングルート

The scene of one of the fiercest battles of the First Vendée War, this place is today a completely peaceful green setting.

A rustic and refreshing passage in summer... Rather greasy and humid in winter!

The Battle of Pont-Barré took place from September 17 to 19, 1793 during the First War of the Vendée. It ended with the victory of the Vendéens who repelled a Republican offensive launched from Angers.

Ideal for a break! The Coteaux du Pont-Barré nature reserve overlooks the Layon valley and its vineyards. The particular relief, made of slopes interspersed with numerous small plateaus and rocky escarpments, and the geological complexity (mixture of acidic and basic rocks) contribute to the maintenance of a mosaic of natural habitats, to which equally remarkable climatic conditions contribute. . The very sunny exposure, the very low rainfall combined with the orientation of the valley and its link with the Loire explain the presence of numerous plant and animal species with a southern affinity. https://www.reserves-naturelles.org/coteaux-du-pont-barre

Built in the 19th century, the Barré bridge is an Angers structure located on the Layon between the municipalities of Beaulieu-sur-Layon and Saint-Lambert-du-Lattay. This communication channel was a strategic place during the Vendée wars, and will be the scene of several confrontations in the 18th century, including the battle of Pont-Barré or Combat de Beaulieu. In September 1793, the Republican troops occupied the heights dominating the Barré bridge, on the Layon, and regained control of the passage despite the royalist defense.
