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.

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.

Beau Soleil natural site

Highlight • Lake

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.

A lovely restaurant with outdoor seating overlooking the water. It's ideal for a relaxing break, with food and drinks available.

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.
