• Departure of the trail

• Departure Place of the river

• The Ball of the Golden Ball

• This hydraulic structure, made up of several doors, separates the water during floods. This lock is a real paradise for fish thanks to the reserve set up on each side and the glass eel pass.

• The Church

• Its installation on the promontory which dominates the town follows the wishes of sailors in danger who raised there, formerly, a chapel. The current church dates from the 19th century. We will notice the wooden christ dating from the sixteenth century.
