Aizenay is a small part of Vendée where history sometimes invites itself in surprising ways, like this forest where an American bomber crashed in 1944, leaving a memorial made of metal plaques telling the story of this epic. But Aizenay is also the peaceful countryside where nature stretches as far as the eye can see, between farms and wooded paths. The town has managed to retain this rural charm while being well connected to La Roche-sur-Yon, its larger neighbor. Here, past and present coexist with a small nod to troubled times, once a refuge for royalists on the run. In short, a village that whispers its secrets to those who listen.

A gentle and calm cycle path passing through the Parc des Sittelles and going to the town of Aizenay. There are plenty of places to have a snack and rest (also to stock up on water), and there is a major site to visit - the Saint Benoit d'Aizenay church.
