The bridge, listed as a Historic Monument and restored to its original condition in 2013, is one of the last remaining structures to showcase the ingenuity of inventor Marc Seguin. The project to restore the suspension bridge at Moulin sur Cance was initiated in 2004 by the Syndicat des Trois Rivières. As well as preserving and enhancing the ‘Seguin’ heritage, this restoration project will also showcase the former industrial site of Moulin sur Cance, which specialised in the production and processing of silk, as well as highlighting the environment of the lower Cance valley, which is wild and remarkable, and part of a ZNIEFF (Zone d'Intérêt Ecologique Faunistique et Floristique). The suspension bridge at Moulin sur Cance, built between 1863 and 1865, is an authentic and rare example of the techniques developed by Marc Seguin. Today, it is the only known structure still using the parallel wire technique, and has been listed as a Historic Monument since 1981. The bridge is 20 metres long and comprises 4 main sections: The deck: the deck is made up of sleepers and two floors. Two guardrails are installed on the deck, acting as stiffening beams to reduce the effects of undulation. The entire structure is made of oak. The masonry: imposing, the masonry is essentially made of stone. It is designed to fully integrate the passage and fixing of the cables. The cables: four cables support the entire structure, two on each side. Each cable is over 38 metres long and weighs 256 kg. They are made of parallel soft iron wire. The principle lies in the fact that each cable is made up of a single wire that is repeated 100 times. These wires are held together by ligatures. The cables are anchored in the bridge piers by metal cylinders embedded in the masonry. Hangers: Hangers use the same principle as cables, but are made up of fewer strands of wire. They split in two at the ends. The top loop is held to the cables by a ‘double stirrup’ and the bottom loop supports the crosspieces.

The huge 39m high rock is a "natural sculpture" in the heart of the pretty Cance Valley set apart on the riverbank. It epitomises fascinating geological history.

Discover the lake of Les Meinettes and its lush green vegetation. The 80s saw a strong development of arboriculture on many farms, with a diversification of production to include cherries, apricots and peaches. Irrigation had to be developed to keep pace with these developments. Lac de Meinettes is an artificial hill reservoir. A compacted earth dam crosses the course of the Ozon river, enabling a large volume of water to be stored by holding back runoff from an 11km2 catchment area. In parallel with the creation of the dam, a huge irrigation network was created, covering 382 hectares of plots. A pumping station extracts the water and sends it into this network. In all, 73 km of pipes supply water to more than 250 farms.

It was built in 1360 by the Cardinal of Dovecote. The Southeast tower, is of the 15th century. More modest buildings of Renaissance style were leaned.

According to legend, a shepherdess fell into the water. As she fell, she shouted "Aie! Our Lady! Aie!". An invisible hand stopped her fall and she was saved. Hence the name given to the river and the site.
