Saint-Germain-De-Tallevende-La-Lande-Vaumont

Saint-Germain-De-Tallevende-La-Lande-Vaumont brings together several distinct themes for planning a trip: the protected dolmen, the historic Clos Fortin estate, a walking route, ponds where fishing is possible, and a local supplier of honey products. If you are looking for a hotel, you can tailor your stay to whether heritage, trails, walks or fishing are your main interests. Each theme has its own particular focus.

Cultural history: dolmen and Clos Fortin

The Dolmen de la Loge aux Sarrazins is located in Saint-Germain-de-Tallevende-la-Lande-Vaumont. A decree dated 26 June 1934 classified it as a Monument historique. This gives interest in the area's history a clearly identified point of reference: its protected status is linked to a specific date. For travellers who also take a place's history into account when choosing a destination, this classification is a precise point of interest.

Clos Fortin adds an estate with a distinct timeline to the picture of the area's heritage. It was built in the 16th to 17th centuries and altered in the 18th century. This makes it possible to distinguish the period of construction from a later alteration. The classified grounds cover 10 hectares. They still include a walled French garden and topiary decorated with boxwood. The garden adds a designed landscape as a distinct aspect of the estate's architectural history. If you plan to visit Clos Fortin, check access in advance.

The facilities are also a practical point of reference for a cycling trip, without having to assume that any additional accommodation services are available.

Fishing and walks at the Étangs du Point du Jour

The Étangs du Point du Jour comprise four ponds; fishing is possible at two of them for a full day or half a day. Charges are based on weight, and fishing rods and bait are provided. You can therefore choose between two time slots, and the method of charging is also clearly stated. The Étangs are also a pleasant place for walks. This lets you include fishing and a walk as separate interests in your travel plans. As operating details may change, check the current fishing information before visiting.
