It is on the outskirts of the village of Château-Guibert that we discover between its different arms, a very beautiful natural site decorated with various developed trails. The hillsides, made up of meadows and heaths, are very dry. The particularly poor subsoil explains the presence of flora with almost Mediterranean aspects. The songs of the European oriole and the common nightingale give this site a particularly melodious atmosphere in spring, while the kingfisher traces a shimmering blue arc above the body of water. The wings of the numerous dragonflies are so many sparkling points on the lake like those of the imposing brown orthetrum or the nimble dryad. Walkers and fishermen find their favorite terrain here. Classified as a green route, departmental 60 offers beautiful views of the southernmost part of the lake between Château-Guibert and Mareuil-sur-Lay. Swimming is prohibited there.

This picturesque village is a perfect place for a break and refreshments. There are several restaurants and a nice café Tea room "Les Rives Enchan'thé just after the bridge. (The café is open every day from 1:30 p.m. to 7 p.m. except Sunday and Monday).
