In 1882, in a hamlet in the south of Loire-Inférieure (old name of Loire Atlantique), at the limit of the Vendée department, the Blessed Virgin Mary "appeared" to a very poor 8-year-old child: Marie Lorteau. These apparitions, not yet recognized by the Church, will give rise to worship and a pilgrimage that will bring together up to 3000 people at the height of popular fervor. Even now, the place remains very well maintained and gives rise to some prayer gatherings.
More prosaically, the road that leads there makes its way through the grove and is very pleasant for cycling.
