Le Moulin de Gervaux

Highlight • Monument

The first documents mentioning the site date from 1360 and the stone pavement which allowed the water to be concentrated towards its wheel is attested as one of the oldest in the Sèvre Valley. For more than 600 years, it was a cloth, fulling and flour mill. Burnt down in 1943, the mill was rebuilt in 1949. It ceased its activity in 1987 but the waterwheel of the mill kept its mechanism intact.

Pont du Chêne

Highlight • Bridge

Beautiful view of this bridge of the Chaussée des Moines and the center of Vertou with the spire of the church and also of the Parc de Loiry and the banks of the Sèvre Nantaise.
In 1841, the Pont du Chêne, the first work of art to cross the Nantes Sèvre between Rezé and Clisson, was opened to traffic. Its narrow wooden deck resting on masonry piles can only allow one cart to pass at a time. It was widened in 1860, then equipped, thirty-five years later, with a metal deck to support the ever-increasing road traffic, unfortunately...

La Frémoire Castle

Highlight • Castle

The château, a former seigneury of the county of Nantes from the 16th century, was acquired in the 1980s by the wine industry, which currently houses its professional premises there and offers several activities around the wines of the Loire.

Le Portillon

Highlight • River

Old small port, typical of the banks of the Sèvre. A peaceful little park on the bank with picnic tables.
Starting point for various hiking trails along the river or through the vineyard.

Saint-Fiacre-sur-Maine Church

Highlight • Religious Site

The Saint-Hilaire church in Saint-Fiacre-sur-Maine is particularly known for its tall bell tower in Romano-Byzantine style. Located at the top of a hill, the bell tower can be seen from afar in the region.

Leaning Stone Pine of Rue de la Collégiale

Highlight • Natural Monument

A remarkable and emblematic tree of the city of Clisson, this umbrella pine naturally leaned over to get the light from the other side of the street, then twisted to avoid the roof of the house opposite. But this inclination is not without consequences for the tree and its surroundings. In recent years, the wall on which it is installed has been cracking and the pavement below is increasingly heaving in places. Cables were installed to hold the specimen but they were no longer sufficient to prevent a possible collapse.
However, the solution has been found: the trunk is now surrounded at its base by a colored metal frame made by the sculptor JF Buisson and financed by the Hellfest festival on behalf of the municipality.

And by the way, it's quite a steep climb from the sides of the castle...
