Sign on the bridge over the Layon

With widespread flooding in the parts of the UK, it seems timely to post these photos of flooding in the Layon at Rablay-sur-Layon in late January/early February 2013.

 Help please – can anyone identify this small town, which is either 

in the western Layon or possibly in the Aubance?
