Windmill image

Right from the outset and as if to set the overall tone, this walk takes us along farming trails through the vineyards, before slipping further down to the banks of the river Sèvre, allowing us to enjoy exquisite moments of absolute tranquillity and the leafy shade of the undergrowth.
In the distance,the silhouette of the mill towers above, guiding the walker through the unique vineyards landscape. Higher up on the hillsides, you can take in the impressive panorama of the valley of the river Sèvre and its characteristic tiled roofs. In summer, these vast stretches are aglow with intense green hues,awaiting autumn and the harvest season.
