Presentation of: PONT DE LA GACHE
Built of schist and granite, it is situated at the end of the ancient estuary of the Jaunay: its role was vital at the time, as it was located on important communication routes.
On 08 May 1815, a violent battle took place between the Vendéens and the imperial troops, who were repulsed. The Royalists were under the command of Nicolas des Abbayes and were protecting a convoy of arms and munitions that had just landed at Saint Gilles.
Nearby is a picnic area with 3 shaded tables. Access via the D40.
