Port of Nort-sur-Erdre

Highlight • Other

Also known as "the Basin," this small marina is the main attraction in Nort-sur-Erdre. Water sports are also available here. There are restrooms with a tap next to the harbor master's office. To the south of the harbor is a pleasant park.

Port Mulon Park and Castle

Highlight • Castle

19th century castle overlooking a large 15 hectare park, known for its rare species and for its music festival "La Nuit de l'Erdre". The path along the Erdre can be very muddy in winter. Beyond the place called Les Mares Noires you can continue on a single track that crosses a fairly densely wooded area and/or the more rolling Noe-Guy path.

Canal de Nantes à Brest

Highlight • River

Very rolling path, a little monotonous

Canal de Nantes à Brest

Highlight • Other

Here you are at the entrance to the magnificent Nantes-Brest canal. 364 kilometers of cycle paths await the rubber of your tires, along bucolic paths. From here, there is only one thing left to do: take the first pedal stroke to discover this route with its enchanting and emblematic landscapes of Brittany.

Chemin du Pas Chevalier

Highlight • Trail

A more direct alternative in terms of time and kilometers than the EV1 to reach Sucé from the Canal. Still, more gravel/mountain bike than touring with panniers in my opinion.

Body of water in Grand champ- des- Fontaines

Highlight • Other

This body of water was inaugurated in 1996. It is made up of a water reservoir intended to collect excess water during summer storms, and large hilly and shaded spaces for walkers.
There you will find a fitness trail, as well as a play area for your children and a picnic area.

Feed channel

Highlight • Other

"The feed channel or" Small Canal "with a length of 21.3 km connects the Vioreau reservoir to the Nantes-Brest Canal. It allows the water supply to the first section of the Canal to compensate for the drop in level due locks and evaporation. Its construction - 1833 to 1836 - is a technical masterpiece, a slope of only 14 cm / km, four aqueducts, a 600 m underground passage, many small picturesque stone bridges, washhouses ... "
From a cycling point of view, the path that runs along the canal is most of the time a simple single, in places grassy. Suitable for gravel and therefore mountain biking. On the other hand, I would not do the section between the Pas d'Héric and the Patis Blondin with children, the path passing near the water on numerous occasions. On foot, no worries.
