Description

The Vendée plain forms a strip of land between the Bocage hills and the Marais Poitevin. This region offers open landscapes with straight, flat fields, where the dwellings are mainly grouped together in the market towns. It is dotted with numerous reminders of history, traces of past activities and is also home to a remarkable natural heritage. This trail is an invitation to discover the many traces and testimonies of the past: the Château de Bessay, the logis de Chaligny, etc. Along the way, you will reach the valley of the Smagne, a charming winding river flowing into the Lay: along the way, you will discover the remains of mills and other hydraulic structures: the Vieux Pont de Mainclaye, the Moulins de Mainclaye, the lavoir de Bessay....
