Here, the remains of the ramparts of the Lusignan castle, a medieval fortress, built at the end of the 12th century and the beginning of the 13th century. All that remains is the ramparts on the hillsides which offer a magnificent panorama of the meanders of the Mother. To fully enjoy it you have to enter the park and go behind the town hall. A perfect place for a break, the park is generally quite quiet.

I don't know if we really have 21% but it's a good alternative to the classic climb of Mervent from the Mangoustan restaurant. An unmissable climb 👍

Labeled a small town of character, Foussais-Payré is a village dominated by Renaissance architecture. The town reached its peak there thanks to the flourishing activity of clothiers, tanners and weavers, of which there are still many buildings and period houses. Every year in July, the chainsaw sculpture symposium is held. The most remarkable works created for this occasion are exhibited in different places of the village and the wood sculptures thus exhibited change from year to year ...

Small asphalt path crossing the forest between the route de la Balingue and Saint Michel le Cloucq. Not necessarily easy to find, but it's fine! ...

Only a 500m climb but it averages 10% and peaks at 21% around the second bend. A great hill to attack full gas and beat the KOM.

If you're coming from Mervant, you'll have a long straight descent where speeds of 60km/h are easily obtainable before turning back round the lake for awesome views and an challenging climb up to the junction. It's a tester without being too long.

Vouvant is labelled in Les Plus Beaux Villages de France (since 1988), as a Petite cité de caractère, and the village has obtained two flowers out of five in the Concours des villes et villages fleuris. It is the only fortified village of Vendée, is rich in cultural and architectural heritage and has a couple of great cafes and pubs to keep you refreshed. There are also some stunning viewpoints down by the river and by the old fort. An absolute MUST to detour here

Winding and hunchbacked country road, magnificent arrival on Vouvant and its ramparts, passing through fields that remind both of the South and the Norman groves.
