Linda started painting in 2014 after seeing works at a family member's house. They were abstract works and she fell in love with them. She has always been creative since she was a child, she loved art classes and spent a lot of time creating whether it was drawing or painting. After various professional activities, she gradually took up painting again. As abstract art fascinated her, she decided to learn on her own after watching a few videos on the Internet. The beginnings were difficult, but for her, painting was a moment of relaxation and escape. And then it became a real passion. Nowadays, abstract paintings are not only an integral part of interior decoration, they also bring a certain sense of well-being. With their soft, soothing colours, her creations will take you on an inner journey. When she creates a work, she has only a vague idea of the final result. She makes a choice of colours at the start and then as she progresses in her abstract painting, ideas come to her. In 2021, she discovered the technique of fluid art. She first started painting pictures using this technique and then, fascinated by the results, other creations were born. She now creates coasters and jewellery. She also paints bespoke, personalised pictures. She is always available to advise and inform you. You will find her creations available on her website, as well as a contact form for all custom orders.

The coal mines were extremely important from the 17th century.

Buildings from the former 17th century Presbytery were restored and transformed into the town hall in 2007 and "Les Digitales" Art Centre in 2011. The Art Centre is a place for activities and exhibits. It displays different models of farming machinery from the collection of Mr Sevestre, a passionate farmer from Caden, and holds a museum presenting farming activities from yesterday and today with interviews from local farmers.

It was restored in the 18th century by the rector of Caden, Jean-Louis de la Houssaye. The date "1756" is written over the side door. It is one of the six friar chapels of Caden. The inside is decorated with 21th century frescos painted by a local artist representing landscapes of the surrounding countryside.

Born from the whims of the relief and the fervour of an Abbot, it makes its appearance at the bend in the path that climbs to the Chapelle Largeau. Like a guide or a lighthouse, soothing by its serene presence, and so eternal: the Chapel of Saint Joseph stands at the top of the Ouin Valley. The traveller may be astonished, moved or meditate in front of this majesty. It proudly dominates this valley, at the bottom of which, the river Ouin, runs alongside, meanders and separates, sometimes the Maine et Loire, the Vendée or the Deux Sèvres. At the height of the trilogy, the parish itself was, over the centuries, under the dependence of three dioceses: Maillezais, La Rochelle and Poitiers! »
