Mabille Valley Lake

Highlight • Other

The Lac de la Vallée Mabille, or Lac de Savenay, is a beautiful artificial reservoir that is worth a detour. By bike, you can easily go around the southern part (south of the road) by a wide and well-maintained wooded path. On the other hand, the northern part, wilder and quite rugged, is more for hiking than cycling. Crossing at the dam can be done using a footbridge.

Mabille Valley Lake

Highlight • Lake

Lac de la Vallée Mabille, more commonly known as Lac de Savenay, is a beautiful body of water located at the eastern entrance to the town of Savenay. Artificial, the lake hosts many activities on its shores: a swimming pool, a campsite, a leisure park, a golf course and a hotel-restaurant.

Very famous among the locals, this little green setting is also a delight for long-distance hikers. Indeed, the iconic GR 3 meanders along its banks.

Savenay

Highlight • Settlement

On the edge of the Loire estuary, the small town of Savenay makes an excellent base camp for exploring the Brière regional natural park (PNR) which it borders. In its village, many shops offer catering and accommodation. Also, a railway station connects daily and several times a day the station of Nantes.

Malville hiking route. The trail passes through private roads and should not be repeated. This is one of the most beautiful hikes in the 44 department. Note that the elevation gain is 1100, not 570, for a 55 km hike.
