루카 최고의 러닝 경로

Quite nice here 😉 At least for a little picnic and break, as the coastal path is quite challenging.

Ruins of a historic mill that was fed by the Ru de Matignon. The mill is not only a popular hiking destination, but can also be easily incorporated into a mountain bike tour. The trails along the Ru de Matignon or from La Forge are absolutely worthwhile.

This river mill owes its name to the fact that for a long time it was the closest mill to the sea. In the Middle Ages, the Lord of Matignon had a "grain mill" built on this site. The population was obliged to have their grain milled there and to pay a fee to the miller. It was supplied with water by a reservoir, now filled, located on a stream that flows into the bay of La Fresnaye at the place called Port-au-Moulin. Upstream, another river mill had been built, the Clos mill, at the place called La Vallée. Downstream, a tidal mill with a dike and seawater dam, the Roche Noire mill, was built in 1869. A windmill, the La Vigne mill, located in Bellevue, took over during droughts. There were therefore four mills in this area. During the Revolution, the Mer mill was auctioned off as national property. Around 1850, René-Marie Durand, a miller, became the owner of this mill. His eldest son had the Roche Noire mill built; his sons and grandchildren also became millers. The mills ceased operations around 1925.

Superb place, magnified by the sun and the high tide!

Nice section of the GR34, also marked by the VTT-22. Technical passages with steep inclines alternate with relaxed cruising. Lots of hikers in the season. Contrary to other statements, the further route towards Saint Cast is not passable.

The town was born in the 11th century around a castle built by the lord of Matignon, whose heiress married Étienne Gouyon in the 12th century. It was a descendant of this lineage, Jacques III de Gouyon, lord of Matignon and de la Roche Gouyon, who bought in Paris in 1723 the private mansion then under construction which later became the residence of the Prime Minister. The son of the same Jacques III married Louise-Hippolyte Grimaldi and became Prince of Monaco. The current sovereigns are his descendants. Prince Albert thus holds, among other titles, that of Lord of Matignon. This is why during an event occurring in the princely family, the bells of the Breton village church are rung. If the original castle has disappeared, Matignon has a heritage of interest and offers the image of a village of nearly 1,700 inhabitants which combines the charms of the coast and the tranquility of a prosperous countryside.

A really exciting place that is good for a break.

A really exciting place, you can still clearly see the position of the mill wheel. The millstones are still standing at the back of the building.
