Circuit de la Loge au Moine
The stream known as the Loge au Moine or "Ribodet" rises in the Etang du Vau, near the Moulin des Landes, and flows into the Havre at Couffé. This pond was filled in when the SNCF line linking Nantes to Segré was built.

Moulin de la Gagnerie: The current mill dates back to 1865, its activity ceased around 1930, and it lost its wings in 1945.
Croix de la Bique: formerly situated on the edge of a sunken path that linked the Tienbon hospice to the Lande-Gilles leprosarium. This cross is named after the legend of the Bigaine, an evil being linked to the devil, sometimes in the shape of a white goat, sometimes in human form.
