BOUCLE DU PLESSIS

Hiking

Walk through the history of Cerize, which begins in the Neolithic period. You start at the castle of La Roche (3 ears of corn gite), its superb park and its pond. You will then discover the architectural and natural heritage of the surroundings: Saint-Pierre church and its tympanums decorated with ceramics (19th century); Saint-Père washhouse; Puy Genest and the Queen of the Meadows trail, a wetland ecosystem; Le Plessis, an ancient fortified village (9th century), the Celtic educational trail, Les Bourrelières and an observation platform. You will end up at the pretty Vannelière pond (fishing allowed).

MONTGOLFIÈRE DU BOCAGE

Hotair ballooning

Several take-offs in Vendée and Deux-Sèvres. Damien and Thomas Merceron, your aeronaut pilots and 2014 French champions, take you into the air at dawn or dusk. If the flight between the two departments lasts 1 hour (what an enchantment!), plan for half a day: in addition to the 7th sky, you'll discover the main stages of balloon travel, from inflation to folding the envelope. Reservations are essential, and can be made at the tourist information office. Please note that times and appointments are subject to weather conditions.
