To the north of the town of Orvault, the Château de la Tour is a magnificent 15th century building, set in a veritable green setting. The castle belongs since 1982 to the municipality and its park and open to the public.

Hamlet, "village" with many old houses, all in granite and sometimes dating back to the 16th century. With the essential “pestle” or apple mill near Calvary: 30 tons of granite to press the apples! And depending on the direction of your journey, a very nice, slightly technical descent or a “very steep” climb to get there 😉 Several very interesting paths for mountain biking nearby!

Bongarant Chapel

Highlight • Other

Legend has it that in the 15th century the Duke of Brittany François II encountered a wild boar while hunting and fell. He then vowed to build a chapel if he escaped death. It did.

Saint Blaise Chapel

Highlight • Other

Small 15th century chapel, typical of the region. In the past, many weddings were celebrated there for the inhabitants of Haut-Couëron. It is built in an ogival style with granite buttresses and a circular apse. A skylight on the nave seems to have been added in the 19th century. On the facade, above the door, in wood, with its pointed arch opening, we can see a niche with a Virgin. A cross adjoins the chapel, surrounded by a stone wall.

Country path section

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

Short portion, very pretty, with a small rocky passage and a very rolling majority, ideal for connecting the Parc de La Gournerie and the continuation of the valley of the Chézine.
