Attractions and Places To See around Saint-Georges-De-Montaigu - Top 20

The Asson is the stream that flows into the Maine at the level of the castle. The small body of water in the castle park is formed by the Asson.

Lake downstream almost dry when I visited it in October.

Excellent hiking trail all around the lake.

A truly unusual place, worth the detour.

Bultière Lake is an artificial reservoir. The Bultière Dam was built in 1994. It is located in the commune of Chavagne en paillers. It supplies the drinking water network. Its surface area is 72 hectares and contains 5.2 million cubic meters of water. It is possible to walk around the lake via a 15-km trail. This lake, with its exceptionally rich fish population, awaits you with almost every type of fish (perch, pike, zander, catfish, carp, roach, bream, tench, etc.). You can go predator fishing from the shore or from a boat to catch zander, pike, and catfish. It is, of course, possible to still fish for roach, bleak, or bream. Carp are also present in this lake. A night carp fishing route located on the right bank in the Maurosière sector will delight those who love a good catch.

Located east of the Parc des Remparts, the first part of the Val d'Asson Park opened in September 2020. The second part will open in July 2023. In total, it covers 5 hectares of greenery in the heart of the city. Located in the city center, parking is available at Place de l'Hôtel-de-Ville or Rue du Pont-Jarlet. Admission is free and the park is open year-round. The various paths and footbridges are accessible to people with reduced mobility. The 5 hectares of parkland connect the city center with the Hauts de Montaigu district. Crossed by the Asson River, the park features a variety of vegetation that grows along the stream's banks. When it was created, the preservation of flora and fauna was a major objective. An eco-grazing area was created there.

. Originally, there was an ovoid-shaped enclosure flanked by about ten towers and a gatehouse, located to the northeast. The fortified town was located to the north of the fortress and extended a little to the east. A dry moat separated the fortified town from the fortress. A barbican protected the gatehouse. A Romanesque keep of the Niort type, with its courtyard and small enclosure, was located in the castle courtyard, roughly in the middle in the north-south direction and located to the west.
