3. Moulin du Ferret
Ruins of the Furet mill. A fish pass was installed on the river in 2022.
4. Ford of Rambourg
From Gallo-Roman times there was a toll ford, probably guarded by a wooden fort which was located on a Roman road. Around the 15th century, a "pontereau", a simple footbridge, was thrown over the river. It happened then that we were talking about the "ford of the Planche". The hamlet near La Planche takes its name from it. This footbridge only became a bridge 1,80 m wide, on wooden beams in 1862, then on iron beams, in 1894. It was in 1970 that the current bridge and road were created, raised above from any threat of flooding.
5. Mill of Rambourg
Unique testimony to the economic activity of the XNUMXth century along the Yon valley, the Moulin de Rambourg has retained its complete equipment dating from the first half of the XNUMXth century. It is open to visitors throughout the summer period and on request for groups.
6. Merlerie Island
Here, the Yon divides to form the small island of Merlerie. You will notice the presence of two locks. You also have the option of taking an alternative route to reach the Rambourg mill.
