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.
