Church of Our Lady of Tiffauges

Highlight • Religious Site

A recent (18th century) but rather pretty church. It can be seen from afar as it stands on a high slope in the Sèvres. The square is pleasant, with restrooms and drinking water located under the medieval market halls.
There are a few beautiful old houses on Grande Rue and Rue de l’Aumônerie.
Note: The Chemin du Gaberneau is not suitable for cycling (stairs).

Tiffauges Castle

Highlight • Castle

Castle that belonged to Gilles de Rais, lord of the Marches of Brittany who inspired the myth of Bluebeard. The region of the Marches of Brittany marked the border between the Kingdom of France and Brittany, stretching from Tiffauges to Pornic, passing through Clisson, Machecoul (other castles) and Saint-Étienne-de-Mer-Morte.

Beaumont

Highlight • Viewpoint

Beautiful views of the Sèvre Nantaise River and the castle walls in the distance. The path connecting Beaumont to the Trois Provinces is passable by mountain bike and gravel, but the terrain is difficult and there are some elevation changes.

Moulin du Bouchot

Highlight • Other

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.
