On foot in Rouans

Do you remember the film ‘Le Grand Chemin’ by Jean-Loup Hubert? Released in 1987, the director decided to shoot the film in a place that was close to his heart - his childhood home and the commune of Rouans. Follow in the footsteps of the film's shooting locations as you stroll along, reviving your memory and discovering the Pays de Retz hinterland. In a small village in the heart of the countryside, with its undulating landscape, rich and diverse flora and fauna and authentic preserved mills, put yourself in Jean-Loup Hubert's shoes, smell the smells that remind him of his past and taste the flavours of a land that is still preserved.
