    Impressive by its size and the vegetation that invades it, this lime kiln, on the hillside, is easily accessible at the end of a path, about fifty meters from the greenway.
    Its use was probably interrupted by the arrival of the railway, around 1850.
    You can see the ruins of two houses nearby.

    Built in the 1830s on the Cellier hillside (44) overlooking the Loire, the **Saint-Méen lime kiln** is an imposing stone tower structure today overgrown by vegetation. This old industrial relic, once supplied with limestone transported by boat, was used to produce the lime needed for amending the region's agricultural land before being abandoned with the arrival of the railway.
