Tips from the Community
What on earth is wrong with the people who designed this greenway with its dozens and dozens of barriers? It quickly becomes unbearable and spoils all the fun of a greenway.

A fairly large pond on the Erdre River, which can be cycled around. Several picnic tables are located at the western end of the lake. You'll find a water tap in the parking lot.

Entering Candé via the greenway, in a quiet & bucolic setting, is very pleasant. Passage over the Erdre, which at this point is still only a stream

Dating from the 19th century, the Veurière (or Saint-Anne) lime kilns are Angevin industrial buildings located in Angrie (Maine-et-Loire), about fifteen kilometers southwest of Segré. Angevin lime production developed in the 19th century and left its mark on the landscape of the department. In Angrie, a locality in Segréen, there were several industrial activities: marble quarries (La Verrière), slate quarries (La Boue, La Grée des Cerisiers), iron mine (La Roserie), antimony mine (Grand-Bois ), as well as lime kilns. A rural country, agricultural activity is very present, notably with cereal crops. A lime kiln is mentioned there at the end of the 18th century, and others in Dérouères and La Fresnaie at the beginning of the 19th century. Those of La Veurière, located between Angrie and Vern-d'Anjou, were built at the beginning of the 19th century, and mentioned in 1832 and 1857. They include three large units, with three ovens around fifteen meters high. Boilermaking activity was important before the First World War, of which there were around fifteen sites in the Angrie and Vern-d'Anjou sector. They ceased their activity in the middle of the 20th century. The Chaufournier site of La Veuvrière is a protected heritage site. The lime kilns and access ramp are listed as Historic Monuments by decree of March 25, 1980. This disused industrial establishment is the property of a private person. It is possible to visit the site, as well as the chapel and the Saint-Pierre ovens source: https://www.wiki-anjou.fr/index.php/Fours_%C3%A0_chaux_de_la_Veuri%C3%A8re
