Points of interest

Departure from the Fosse Jaune car park. Go to the place called Bel-Air by the wooded paths, pleasant whatever the season.
2. The Martin Cross
Admire the house with its trompe l'oeil windows.
3. La Birochere
4. Vendée sunken road
Agricultural road which sinks into the undergrowth. This type of path is used mainly by farmers to go from one field to another. It is called "hollow" because generally it is between two embankments made up of trees forming hedges.
5. Flat Stone Bridge
Nestled at the bottom of a deep, green valley, the megalithic granite bridge of Pierre Plate was renovated in 2013. Witness to the prehistoric period, the Pierre Plate bridge allowed passage over the Yon. It is made up of three shale megaliths.
6. Village of Pierre-Plate
7. Ampersand Stable
The Esperluette stable offers boarding for your horse whatever your discipline. If your ambition on horseback is simply to walk around and have a good time, the Ranch also works with leisure and outdoor horses.
