Using our trusted walks guide from the tourist information centre in Talmont Saint Hilaire we returned to Bourgenay but this time headed inland instead of doing our usual walk along the low cliffs.

| This used to be where they dried tobacco leaves. I had no idea that they grew tobacco in Vendée! |
 |
| An old mill dating from the Middle Ages, now partly restored... |
 |
| ...and how it used to look. |
 |
| I found a couple of visitors there too! |
 |
| Nearby there was, believe it or not, a pigeon house built in 1722. |
 |
| There were four levels and it could house 2000 birds. |
 |
| There's no mention of hot water but there's plenty of running cold water from the open roof! |
 |
| We had to curtail our walk (lunch and Tine's commitments) but not before walking through ancient woodlands. |
