Magnificent site with this restored watermill, whose wheel still turns. I don't know if it's the case all year round, but when I was there (mid-May) you could easily cross the river using the footbridge.

The Basilica of St Laurent sur Sèvre is a beautiful and historic place to visit, especially for those interested in the lives of Saint Louis de Montfort and Blessed Marie Louise Trichet, who are buried there.

The thick walls and 18 towers clinging tightly to the granite spur protected the fortress from enemy attacks to this day. In the castle built in the 12th century, the weapons of war are still ready for battle, at that time there were 16 medieval machines, including the largest trebuchet (the trebuchet is a seesaw with a power and load arm) in France with a firing height of over 160 meters!

there are superb landscapes, with good drops along the Sèvre Nantaise and along the land consolidation paths. To discover.

Former mill, once operated by several generations of potters, with a now private footbridge that served as a link between La Séguinière and La Romagne, and now a natural area on the banks of the Moine popular for several sporting activities. First of all, hiking, it is in particular the favorite place for the "Randonnée du Bouchot" organized each year for the Séguinière blood sausage festival (!!!). It is also a popular place for climbing with the presence of a cliff offering a small site of about fifteen routes with a height ranging from 10 to 20 m and a level of difficulty of 4 to 6b. For cyclists, the place gives the opportunity of a beautiful hill going up from the river towards the Séguinière. The passage of the ford can sometimes be blocked in the event of flooding of the river, but that passes largely in the beautiful days.
