One of the magnificent dams of Maine et Loire, the Moine River flows through this lake to flow into another lake, the Ribou near Cholet. A 16km hike around the lake can be done by following the yellow markers.

Another beautiful site on the Sèvre Nantaise, with the unusual feature this time: it's not only at the crossroads of three departments (LA, Vendée, and M&L), a rather common occurrence, but also of three former provinces: Brittany, Poitou, and Anjou. The crossroads is formed by the Sèvre on one side and its tributary, the Bon Débit, on the other. The inn of the same name looks very nice; in any case, the setting is splendid.

It is in this village of 1,500 souls, Chambretaud, that an exceptional brioche is prepared, this delicacy so dear to the Vendée gastronomic heritage. Widely awarded medals, the Brin bakery has become in 14 years an essential stop for locals and tourists alike on the road to Puy du Fou.

Built in 1978

The dam itself is made up of two sets: a long curved dike made of rock on the upstream side, with a grassy embankment on the downstream side; a reinforced core in the form of six concrete vaults. The reservoir, with a surface area of 220 ha, stretches as far as Maulévrier, on the edge of Deux-Sèvres. Fishing is tolerated there, as is sailing in summer. The rest of the activities are subject to greater restrictions than at the Ribou dam. This is justified by the classification as a natural zone of ecological, fauna and flora interest (ZNIEFF) of the perimeter. In fact, more than 200 species of migrants have been counted there throughout the year. https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barrage_du_Verdon

Côte de la Grange / Côte du Fossé is a climb. It is 0.7 km long and has a height difference of 50 meters with an average slope of 6.7%. The summit of the climb is located at an altitude of 241 meters. You will ride among trees and green panoramas.

The Basilica of St Laurent sur Sèvre is a beautiful and historic place to visit, especially for those interested in the lives of Saint Louis de Montfort and Blessed Marie Louise Trichet, who are buried there.

The dam was built in 1977 and completed in 1979. It is owned by the town of Cholet, and its main purpose is to provide drinking water and irrigation to the region. The dam is made up of two parts: a curved rock dike on the upstream side, and a core reinforced with six concrete arches. The dam is 27 meters high and approximately 800 meters long. The dam has a capacity of 14 million cubic meters of water.
