  Anjou - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The principality, which he thus carved out for himself, was occupied, on his death, by Erispoé, duke of Brittany; by him it was handed down to his successors, in whose hands it remained until the beginning of the 10th century.
Hugh the Abbot succeeded him in the countship of Anjou as in most of his other duties, and on his death (886) it passed to Odo, the eldest son of Robert the Strong, who, on his accession to the throne of France (888), probably handed it over to his brother Robert.
The latter having seized upon Nantes, of which the counts of Anjou held themselves to be suzerains, Fulk Nerra came and laid siege to it, routing Conan's army at the battle of Conquereuil (27th of June 992) and re-establishing Nantes under his own suzerainty.

For Cholet, a skier and snowmobiler, the concern isn't Soda Mountain or the Toutes specifically, but the trend in land management.
Coupled with that are growing national trends toward greater restriction of motorized access to public lands, in summer and winter, for environmental reasons.
The perception that snowmobilers are fighting a losing battle has lead local ones to view each small boundary change, real or proposed, as a symptom of something much greater -- and possibly given others an excuse to act irresponsibly.
