Étang de Rochereuil (Sévignac) walks

A walk around Sévignac, offering a glimpse of some of the local heritage.The route presents no particular difficulties, is largely tarmac-surfaced, and the walk described below was completed with two children aged 6 and 8 without any problems.Along the route, there is a pond that invites you to take a break, the old mill, a bread oven, the Rochereuil ‘cave’ with a lovely view just behind it, a wash house and a few other points of interest.

The Rochereuil site is a rocky promontory overlooking a pond. It has been a place of pilgrimage to the Virgin Mary since 1914, when a replica of the Grotto of Lourdes was built there. This short walk through the woodland offers views of the ponds at Château de la Moussaye and lovely panoramic views of the Sévignac countryside. It ends by following a botanical trail along the Ruisseau de la Rosaie.
