생토뱅 데 오르모 최고의 워킹 & 하이킹 경로

The Vendée cycle path is perfect for cycling and hiking. A real pleasure!

Beautiful old mill and adjacent lunch spot

Follow the GR du Pays, several accessible fords, others private. Three mills visible which no longer have their wheels, further on you arrive at Évrunes. It is part of the great loop of the Vendée bocage.

Beautiful view from the bridge over the Sèvre and the hamlet of "Vallée de Torfou". From the latter you can see the old tannery on the riverbank, and glimpse the church and some elements of the castle higher up.

Magnificent site with this restored watermill, whose wheel still turns. I don't know if it's the case all year round, but when I was there (mid-May) you could easily cross the river using the footbridge.

Attested from the beginning of the 18th century, the Torfou mill was still operating in 1888. It had a single waterway and 3 fulling pots driven by a bucket wheel, with a power of 1 to 2 horses. Fulling consisted of beating with heavy mallets, the woolen cloths placed in a tank filled with water and clay (degreasing). The building was restored by the associations "la Perche Dorée" and "Torfou Nature et Sentiers".

With the castle and the meeting of the Crûme and the Sèvre Nantaise, this small valley is full of fantastic landscapes to explore.

A dam located on the Sevre Nantaise and which offers a superb view.
