생콜롬방 최고의 워킹 & 하이킹 경로

Here, a certain Marie Lorteau (aged 8) is said to have had a conversation with the Virgin. This apparition, although not recognized by the Church, seems to still be celebrated because the site is very well maintained. Returning to cycling, I advise against the trails that head north through the Cailleries wetland nature reserve. Flooded in winter and overgrown with brambles in summer. I won't try it a third time.

perfect path for mountain biking while visiting the beautiful landscapes of the region.

I went there to take a dip but the site was littered with rubbish (cake wrappers, chips, candy, tissues, McDonald's bags, pizza boxes, etc.) right down to the water. Exceptional because it was the day after the music festival or just a habit? Sunday was also packed with people (obviously)

Great running loop

Of this important 9th century abbey, all that remains today is the very beautiful abbey church, a priory and the gardens.

It is possible to go around the lake by bike

Remains of an abbey founded in the 9th century by Benedictine monks All that remains is the abbey church and a few buildings around it. The abbey kept the sarcophagus of Saint Philibert from which the town takes its name. Behind the abbey a park with a welcoming lawn for a possible break.

In 1882, in a hamlet in the south of Loire-Inférieure (old name of Loire Atlantique), at the limit of the Vendée department, the Blessed Virgin Mary "appeared" to a very poor 8-year-old child: Marie Lorteau. These apparitions, not yet recognized by the Church, will give rise to worship and a pilgrimage that will bring together up to 3000 people at the height of popular fervor. Even now, the place remains very well maintained and gives rise to some prayer gatherings. More prosaically, the road that leads there makes its way through the grove and is very pleasant for cycling.
