Clisson Castle has quite a story to tell: first an impregnable fortress overlooking the Sèvre, then a ducal residence, and finally a romantic ruin. In the 12th century, the powerful lordship of Clisson built this stone castle with highly elaborate defensive architectural systems: arrow slits, gun ports, and slits. A strategic point protecting the border of the Duchy of Brittany in the 15th century, it was abandoned by its owners from the second half of the 17th century onward before being burned down by Republican troops in 1793. But, beyond its grand history, this castle also has a more historic significance! In 1807, François-Frédéric Lemot, creator of the Garenne Lemot estate (a picturesque landscape located on the other side of the river), was captivated by these ruins and purchased it to turn it into an ornamental factory. The château was declared a historic monument in 1924, before being acquired by the Loire-Atlantique department in 1962. Today, visitors can visit it, take a guided tour, or simply experience its history. A stop on the Journey through the Vineyard, it's a stopover during the wine tourism tour of Nantes' wine country, featuring natural sites, heritage features, characterful villages, and unique cellars.

A large medieval castle. It features themed shows, including siege engine demonstrations.

Beautiful pond surrounded by magnificent trees. Plenty of benches that encourage rest or contemplation. A welcome little patch of greenery after crossing the vineyard in the full sun. A trail allows you to go around the natural site, but I didn't have time to try it. Note that the path that connects La Fauvette to La Pontereau is very smooth and magnificent.

Mountain bike or gravel outing

Typical village with its old stone mill and its footbridge. Rousselin takes its name from the fact that flax was retted here.

15th century medieval bridge which offers some of the most beautiful views of Clisson.

This chapel is the remaining remnant of a commandery (a branch of the order) of the community often referred to as the "Order of the Templars" or "Knights Templar", whose full name is "Poor Knights of Christ and of Solomon's Temple in Jerusalem". The association gained notoriety due to the fact that in 1312 this order was dissolved by the French king and the pope and many members were burned at the stake as alleged heretics. The main reason for the dissolution was not the human and religious misconduct/heresy of the members, which was claimed as the motive, but the legendary wealth of this order. With his meticulously planned approach, King Philip IV of France primarily wanted to secure their possessions in order to improve his coffers.
