The wars of Vendée

Long before the discovery of electricity and the associated inventions, our ancestors discovered the possibility of harnessing the power of the elements - which on the one hand were useful, but on the other hand could also be a threat as a force of nature - for various purposes. A suitable example of the human ingenuity of previous generations is such a mill: the heavy millstones with which, for example, grain was ground into grain or oil was pressed, could be powered with the help of water or - as here on the Mont des Alouettes - the wind , whose strength the covered wings have absorbed. Hardly any of them still fulfill their original functions today, but fortunately some have at least been preserved as evidence of the old days.

Here you can have a peaceful run through the woods. The exposed nature of the nearby Mont des Alouettes is offset here by the presence of trees.

A total of eight windmills were built on this site, two of which survive, one of which is still in operation. A chapel was also built there in 1828, but it is interesting to note that it was not completed and inaugurated until 1968.

Super climb but with a lot of car passage
