History

The Cistercian Abbey of Buzay was founded in 1135 by Bernard of Clairvaux. The Tour de Buzay is the only visible remnant of the Cistercian Abbey of Buzay. The site of the Tour de Buzay is privately owned and not freely accessible; however, a guided tour is possible during the European Heritage Days on the third weekend of September.

Nature

The Canal de Buzay was built in the 18th century to facilitate the transport of goods between the Pays de Retz and Nantes. Today, the Canal de Buzay is suitable for walks or cycling tours and is lined with marshlands; at the same time, it features lush vegetation.

Buzon is a small village in the Marais de Rouans on the Vieille Blanche River, with stone houses and an old calvary, and offers a place there to take a break or have a picnic.

Trails

The Circuit de la Vallée Blanche is suitable for hiking and cycling tours and passes through marshlands, meadows, and forests.

The Le Grand Chemin circular trail passes through wet marshlands inhabited by amphibians and insects and follows in the footsteps of the film of the same name, directed by Jean-Loup Hubert in 1986.
