Very pretty setting on the edge of the town's lake. Too bad it's impossible to go around it by bike.

Old fortified castle originally built in the 11th century by Count Foulques Nerra who was one of the founders of Anjou; he fortified the entire rich province through 27 castles and forts including this one, marking the southern line of its defense. Today listed as a Historic Monument, the building underwent several alterations in the 13th, 14th and 15th centuries before being burned during the French Revolution. Purchased and renovated at the beginning of the 19th century, Château de Passavant became an important wine estate recognized among the Côteaux du Layon. The road passes under the access bridge to the castle.

This artificial Natura 2000 lake was built in 1969. Its serpentine curve surrounded by woods and hills makes for a very relaxing walk.

This castle which dominates the village of Passavant sur Layon is of medieval style. Some panels to tell his story are nearby.

If you go through Argenton les Vallées, a visit to the Clos de l'Oncle Georges is mandatory. Magnificent public garden located along the river which takes its name from its former owner Georges Jouffrault, an atypical character, passionate about art and nature.
