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.

a magnificent site for mountain biking on each side of the Yon. A belvedere overlooking the spinning mill with a magnificent view.

It is on the outskirts of the village of Château-Guibert that we discover between its different arms, a very beautiful natural site decorated with various developed trails. The hillsides, made up of meadows and heaths, are very dry. The particularly poor subsoil explains the presence of flora with almost Mediterranean aspects. The songs of the European oriole and the common nightingale give this site a particularly melodious atmosphere in spring, while the kingfisher traces a shimmering blue arc above the body of water. The wings of the numerous dragonflies are so many sparkling points on the lake like those of the imposing brown orthetrum or the nimble dryad. Walkers and fishermen find their favorite terrain here. Classified as a green route, departmental 60 offers beautiful views of the southernmost part of the lake between Château-Guibert and Mareuil-sur-Lay. Swimming is prohibited there.

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.

This old building is the ruin of an old spinning mill which produced wool in the 1860s. It only had a short life as the spinning mill ceased to operate in the 1870s. It was demolished and the stones were used for the construction of the Château de Rosnay, located nearby.

very nice route.

La Pierre aux Fées du Vigneau, a 23-meter boulder overlooking the Perron valley, was the place of choice for a garache (a sort of were-goat) and many fairies who met there on winter Saturdays to run until midnight, then lead a hellish Sabbath until dawn. After their passage, only "weed with scabs" grew, which could cure their dermatosis, it was said, those who picked it on the night of Saint John, an hour after sunset.
