라 페리에르 최고의 라이딩 경로

길을 막는 울타리 때문에 guigui가 하이킹했을 때만큼 가까이 갈 수 없었습니다. 그래도 잘 보입니다.

Aizenay is a small part of Vendée where history sometimes invites itself in surprising ways, like this forest where an American bomber crashed in 1944, leaving a memorial made of metal plaques telling the story of this epic. But Aizenay is also the peaceful countryside where nature stretches as far as the eye can see, between farms and wooded paths. The town has managed to retain this rural charm while being well connected to La Roche-sur-Yon, its larger neighbor. Here, past and present coexist with a small nod to troubled times, once a refuge for royalists on the run. In short, a village that whispers its secrets to those who listen.

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.

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.

This imposing building with its beautiful stained glass windows is characteristic of the period of the law of separation of Church and State (1905). Opened for worship on Christmas Day 1905, it was consecrated in 1965 and celebrated its centenary in 2006. During restoration work undertaken at the end of 2005, under the original floor, several sarcophagi and the bases of buildings were discovered.

A gentle and calm cycle path passing through the Parc des Sittelles and going to the town of Aizenay. There are plenty of places to have a snack and rest (also to stock up on water), and there is a major site to visit - the Saint Benoit d'Aizenay church.

This old mill, which has been restored, dominates a hill which culminates at 103m and offers a view of the village of Sainte Cécile.

Renovated castle, to be visited during Heritage Days
