Puy Crapaud, Summit in Pouzauges, France
Puy Crapaud reaches an elevation of 269 meters and stands as one of the three highest points in the Vendée department of Pays de la Loire.
The summit, located in the Armorican Massif, reflects the ancient geological formation of the Vendée hills that have shaped the landscape for millions of years.
An orientation table at the summit helps visitors identify notable landmarks in the panorama, including the Bois de la Folie and Saint-Michel-Mont-Mercure.
Visitors can reach the summit via a winding tree-lined road, with several marked trails available for exploring the surrounding area on foot.
A former windmill, temporarily converted into a restaurant, marks the summit of Puy Crapaud and provides a circular view of the Upper Vendée Bocage.
