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

Bridge near the small canal

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.

The first chapel was built by the monastic community of the Order of Saint John of Jerusalem during the 12th century and under the control of Carentoir like the chapels of Gorvello, Molac and Guerno. It was restored in the 18th century and decorated with a Classical-style pediment on the main door.

Both the 16th century fountain and washhouse are made of regular granite surrounded by a small stone wall. The fountain looks like a small temple sitting large columns and topped with a domed roof. A small alcove was built for the Saint's statue.

Located on Place Gombaud and built in 1907 by the Union Régionaliste Bretonne (Breton Regionalist Union) for the 1000th anniversary of the death of Alain Le Grand (Alan Meur in Breton), King of Brittany. This 5-metre tall granite headstone commemorates the victory of this Breton leader over the Normans (vikings) in 890. On the western side, you can see the blade of a gladiator’s sword pointing downward, which symbolises the sword of great conqueror. Go back up Rue Lebrun et Malard (between the post office and bakery) and enter the cemetery. Inside, you will find Saint Michel Chapel.

This chapel was built in the mid 15th century, during the reign of the Duke of Brittany François I, where Saint Vincent Ferrier was believed to have preached on 3 March 1418 while staying in Questembert. It was founded by the lords of Rochefort, who had great power and influence in Questembert and surrounding areas at the time. To the left of the chapel, you will find a 15th century stone cross and rectangular sculpture, representing a processional banner. This type of Christian monument is called a “croix bannière” in French and typical to the region of Brittany. In front of the entrance, a large several century-old yew tree seems to protect the tombs of the parish rectors, including Father Mulot, co-founder of the Montfort Fathers congregation, who died during a mission in Questembert in 1749. The chapel was classified as a Historical Monument in 1922. Restored between 2006 and 2007, it is regularly open to the public (concerts, themed days, etc.). Things to discover nearby: At the end of Rue du Chanoine Niol, the old rectory, washhouse and fountain. The old 15th century rectory is a typical country-style and aristocratic residence of old France (private property). The rectory washhouse resembles a small version of Les Halles. The fountain, made up of three columns, is very unique. The fountain and Saint Martin washhouse are located at the end of Rue St-Martin and Rue de la Fontaine.

Nestling in the heart of La Bernerie-en-Retz, just a stone's throw from the ocean, the Au G'Retz des saisons restaurant is a warm, confidential address well worth a visit. In a room with a refined, intimate atmosphere, you can savour a cuisine that is as creative as it is committed, punctuated by local produce and the cycles of nature. With its deliberately small capacity, the place offers a privileged culinary experience, centred on authenticity and quality. Don't forget to book - it's a popular address! Chef Samuel Duchêne, a culinary journey through the seasons Behind the stoves, young chef Samuel Duchêne, trained all over the world, creates a sensitive cuisine inspired by his travels and his deep attachment to the Pays de Retz. Each month, his short, fresh menu celebrates the work of local producers: coastal fish, free-range eggs, root vegetables, sea salt... Everything is cooked with finesse and daring. From beetroot marinated in cider and a watercress coulis, to fillet of sea bass with a coconut-curcuma emulsion, the chef weaves a subtle link between land and sea, tradition and modernity. Even the bread is homemade, to extend the experience right down to the last crumb. Our favourites: an ode to local flavours It's hard to choose, but some dishes particularly impressed us. The perfectly cooked wild sea bass is accompanied by a creamy and comforting green wheat and spelt risotto. The squash spiral with maple and the butternut with Timut are surprisingly mild, enhanced by a beurre blanc with Siltimur berries, subtly pearled with parsley. And to finish on a high note, let yourself be surprised by our signature dessert: Le Tourbillon de pomme Tatin, presented on black sesame shortbread, accompanied by a cloud of Bourbon vanilla, blond Miso caramel and Pop-Corn ice cream with a hint of allspice. A finale full of contrasts, for an unforgettable meal. Au G'Retz des saisons is one of the many restaurants in La Bernerie-en-Retz presented by the Destination Pornic Tourist Office.
