I didn't have time to go see the castle up close, but just for the view over the village from the bridge over the Ciboule, the Girouard is well worth a small detour.

A park dedicated to equestrian arts. Visits are free (except for shows, which require a ticket). Unfortunately, there were no horses when I visited (September).

On Place Napoléon in La Roche-sur-Yon, thirteen mechanical animals made of wood and steel, designed by François Delarozière and the La Machine company, populate the pools and are free for the public to handle. This mechanical zoo brings together crocodiles, hippopotamuses, dromedaries, sacred ibises, otter, owls, flamingos, frogs, and Nile perches. Each animal has a control station that allows different parts of its body to be activated (wings, mouth, legs, etc.). Visitors, young and old, can bring these works to life using hydraulic, pneumatic, or mechanical systems. The animals spit water, move, or interact according to the wishes of passersby. The activity is designed to be interactive, fun, and educational, supervised by "veterinarians" to guide visitors. The animals are inspired by a bestiary that is half-Egyptian and half-Vendean, paying homage to local history and biodiversity.

It's like that in every town here. The World War II memorial stands next to the church, which usually has a colorful door.
