The Rambourg mill, located in Nesmy near La Roche-sur-Yon, is a rare early 20th-century watermill still equipped with its original mechanisms. It ceased its milling activity in 1981 and has since been restored and opened to the public for guided tours during the summer, from July 1 to August 31, every day except Saturday. The interior of the mill can only be seen during these guided tours, allowing visitors to understand the traditional workings of the mill. The site also offers a bucolic setting conducive to relaxation, with a ford, picnic area, and walks along the banks of the Yon. The mill participates in Heritage Days with specific activities.

This picturesque village is a perfect place for a break and refreshments. There are several restaurants and a nice café Tea room "Les Rives Enchan'thé just after the bridge. (The café is open every day from 1:30 p.m. to 7 p.m. except Sunday and Monday).

The site of Mareuil sur Lay corresponds to that of an old city marked by the proximity of the sea. Former port, it welcomed the barges (traditional boats dedicated to the transport of goods) which went up the Lay by transporting in particular salt. Once at the port, the salt was unloaded and transported overland. Under Napoleon 1st, a national road was laid out, leading to the construction of a new stone bridge and Mareuil became an obligatory passage between La Roche sur Yon and La Rochelle. The bridge you cross here dates from this period and offers a beautiful view of the old town of Mareuil. The town is also at the heart of the Mareuil vineyard, which is the largest and one of the most famous in Vendée. Located on the slopes of the Lay and Yon rivers, it extends over an area of 300 hectares divided between 10 municipalities. Annual production is approximately 17,000 hl.
