La Feuillée successively housed a grain mill, a paper mill, a spinning mill and a tannery. Since the Middle Ages, the flow of the Sèvre Nantaise has been used for flour production in mills, as well as for spinning and tanning. The last spinning mill in Cugand closed in 1985.

The Pont d'Arsenal in Cugand was built before 1740. The Grotte de Lourdes in Cugand was inaugurated at Easter 1948. It was built on the banks of the Sèvre as a replica of the Lourdes grotto, following a vow made during the Second World War.

Anyone considering Cugand as a travel destination wants to rent a holiday apartment.
