Saint John the Baptist Church

Highlight • Other

Neo-Gothic style church. It was inaugurated in 1894, replacing a church deemed too small and too fragile, which itself replaced an earlier church destroyed during the Vendée wars.

Smooth, shaded path. Beautiful views of the surrounding countryside. I really like it.
A little damp in places.
Can be combined with the Bréva Trail to the west and the Rébris Trail and the Moulin Châtelier Trail to the east.

Les Grandes Perrières

Highlight • Natural Monument

Former limestone quarry now transformed into a protected natural area with a pond in the northern part and a wetland in the southern part. Important birdlife.
The paths and trails are well maintained, mainly for mountain biking and gravel.
