Things to see
- (La) Jument Blanche: its name is borrowed from the name of an instrument used to make change at the mill, before the intervention of the pendulum. A natural spring, this ancient watercourse once fed Lac de Sillé.
- L'Oppidum (or the old castle): on the wild banks of the pond, in the forest on the edge of the lake, stand the silent ruins of a second fortress, the Carolingian oppidum, an ancient 9th-century fortress built to protect against invasions.
