The Rousselin mill

Highlight • Historical Site

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

Chemin du Gatz

Highlight • Other

This long, well-maintained farm track is popular with hikers. It does, however, have some stony sections. It's part of the Old Royal Road Circuit. Beautiful views of the Sèvre River and the hamlet of Fradet.

La Sauzaie

Highlight • Other

A footbridge crosses the Sèvre between Hucheloup and Sauzaie. Beautiful site, access to which is not very easy. On the left bank, the road towards Hucheloup is quite steep, but less steep than the scree on the right bank which joins the main path. The third access is via the right bank, a beautiful, essentially single path, passable and relatively dry, but punctuated by a few annoying barriers.
In short, not a family outing and rather for mountain biking and gravel only.

Hucheloup

Highlight • Historical Site

Vast industrial site (spinning and tannery) which employed and housed hundreds of workers. Today abandoned, these factories which are falling into ruin do not leave the visitor indifferent.
The river is also very beautiful here.
Unfortunately, the path that connects Hucheloup to La Chimotaie is prohibited for bicycles.
The path that connects Hucheloup to La Doucinière is passable by bike but you go down there by a staircase.
Note that a footbridge located in lower Hucheloup allows you to cross the Sèvre.

Viaduc de la Doucinière

Highlight • Other

Impressive this railway viaduct which passes 30 meters above the Sèvre!
The path which allows you to pass underneath stretches along the river between Doucinière and Hucheloup. For mountain or gravel biking only.
Very pleasant path and without any particular difficulty, except that on the Hucheloup side, it is accessed by a staircase.

La Doucinière

Highlight • Other

Typical hamlet of the Sèvre valley. Opposite the Chevalier mill you can see the ruins overgrown with vegetation of the Haute-Doucinière mill. The view of the river and the hamlet of Chevalier on the other bank is magnificent.
A footbridge connects the two banks. Note that the Doucinière and Chevalier roads are steep. A single path starts from the footbridge and runs along the Sèvre upstream towards the Guignardière mill. Practicable, but with some portage passages. The mill is only visible from a distance. Another path, more practicable, goes in the direction of Hucheloup downstream and passes under the remarkable viaduct of the Doucinière. Please note: this path ends with a staircase at Hucheloup.

Valley of the Three Provinces

Highlight • Monument

This passage over a bridge in this valley dug by the Sèvre Nantaise is located at the exact confluence of the 3 municipalities and departments each representing one of the 3 historical provinces: Boussay, Loire Atlantique (44) for Brittany, Torfou, Maine and Loire (49) for Anjou, La Bruffière, Vendée (85) for Poitou.
It is a peaceful valley with an inn. On the map, this place is found under its real name: "La Grossière", but it is still less elegant...
For cyclists, it's an opportunity to go uphill with also 3 choices: a gentler slope (approximately 4 or 5%) going towards Torfou and Maine et Loire, steeper (6 to 8%) going towards the Bruffière and the Vendée, and can be even a little steeper (6 to 9%) on the small road which goes up towards the north and allows to branch off towards Boussay and the Loire Atlantique.
