This port-canal on the Goulaine marsh was in the 19th century a very important port for the production of lime. Picnic table.

This lime kiln was built in 1825 and was very active until the construction of the Divatte dyke in 1854-56. The building is currently under construction and not accessible. You can admire it from the road.

Saint-Eutrope Church

Highlight • Religious Site

I often pass by the Chapelle-Heulin church.
This spot offers a great place to take a break in the shade and has restrooms nearby.

Lovely stretch along the Sanguèze

Giant redwood Son of Hercules

Highlight • Other

With its eight meters in circumference, this magnificent roadside tree is the largest giant sequoia in Loire Atlantique. It's still far from the French record, which stands at 13 meters, and light years away from the largest sequoias in California. Its father, Hercules, is 31 meters tall!

Moulin de Gervaud

Highlight • Monument

The Gervaud mills, also known as Moulin du Pé de Vignard (the nearby village), crushed wheat from the 18th century until they stopped in 1929.
First owned by the Marquis de la Galissonnière, operated by the Maillard family of millers in the 18th century, the mills were sold as national property at the end of the revolutionary period.

Bucolic Path along the Sèvre in Le Pallet

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

Not very long, but very enjoyable. A welcome little moment of freshness after cooking on the local vineyard paths in summer.
