Pleasant route with the Layon vineyards.

A castle to visit if you have the opportunity! Otherwise, it remains very visible from the road!

This ancient castle of the county of Anjou is located on the edge of the D 55. You will not be able to miss it if you pass through Brissac during your outing.

Fountain chapel dedicated to Saint Martin, Bishop of Tours, who lived in the 4th century. According to legend, the fountains dedicated to Saint Martin had many healing virtues.

Crossroads of paths in the middle of the Beaulieu Forest

A surprising archaeological vestige: the Dolmen de la Pierre Couverte de Mont-Benault. The latter takes its name from the place located nearby but is also called the dolmen of Loncheneau. It is located in the hamlet of Mont-Benault, on the edge of the departmental road 55, going from Baulieu sur Layon to La Faye d'Anjou. According to local legend, this dolmen was built during prehistory on a telluric zone sheltering an underground spring. However, it is difficult to know what its purpose was. Was it a funeral site or a simple shelter? It is made up of five large local stones, each very different. The largest stone is supported by the others, forming a sort of shelter 2 and a half meters wide by 1.40 meters high. The slabs are made of carboniferous schist and puddingstone, except for the chevet slab which is made of phtanite. A flint scraper was reportedly found on site https://www.beaulieu-sur-layon.fr/decouvrir/5285

Alright

The Château de Brissac is the first of the seventeen Loire châteaux that we visited to truly move us. This castle, still inhabited by the Duke and Duchess of Brissac, is in a very good state of conservation, exceptional! Whether it is the Louis XIII furniture, the 17th century tapestries, the paintings, everything is absolutely well preserved. This castle smells of love of heritage and encaustic and what we discover there is an accumulation of the luxury of centuries; thus in the banquet room, this small balcony installed by Duchess Jeanne Say at the end of the 19th century (heiress to Say sweets, which you will find today in your supermarkets under the name Béghin-Say); this theater installed by Jeanne on the top floor of the castle... A superb discovery that is absolutely worth the detour.
