Description
This route follows the contours of an ancient island once bathed by the Gulf of the Pictons. The boundary between the cultivated area, formerly submerged land, and the flooded land, the domain of natural meadows, offers a landscape of shimmering colours. The quiet, shady route will take you across the Lay, first at the Eiffel bridge, built in 1877, and then over the bridge at Portes de Mortevieille. This whole section of the river, which is subject to flooding, will show you just how capricious the Lay can be. If you wish, you can go as far as the Terrier du Booth, which offers a broad view of the Lay and Yon valleys and the surrounding villages.
