The Rambourg mill, located in Nesmy near La Roche-sur-Yon, is a rare early 20th-century watermill still equipped with its original mechanisms. It ceased its milling activity in 1981 and has since been restored and opened to the public for guided tours during the summer, from July 1 to August 31, every day except Saturday. The interior of the mill can only be seen during these guided tours, allowing visitors to understand the traditional workings of the mill. The site also offers a bucolic setting conducive to relaxation, with a ford, picnic area, and walks along the banks of the Yon. The mill participates in Heritage Days with specific activities.

I think the direction Grues-Lairoux is more fun, as it is longer downhill

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

This isolated tower is an old keep built on the Moricq castle mound. The castle to which it was attached no longer exists today.

The Tour de Moricq has always been surrounded by legends. It was once said that an underground passage would connect it to the Angles church. Also, strange signs engraved on the north facade are said to be a plan to find a treasure buried in its depths. According to tradition, it would be a golden chest which would only be accessible at the time of the Sanctus of Midnight Mass, at Christmas. According to another legend, the tower was built by fairies in a single night.

Classified as a Historic Monument in 1915. Originally a sentinel at the edge of the mainland, then a prison and finally a granary, the Moricq Tower has suffered greatly, throughout its history, from the repeated insults of time and men. For more information on visits: 02 51 97 56 39
