The best MTB trails around Moisdon-La-Rivière

Very beautiful place. I was able to cycle around the lake but I'm pretty sure many of the paths are impassable in winter.

The west bridge of Lake Voireau offers a beautiful, unobstructed view of the reservoir. The largest body of water in Loire-Atlantique, this lake stretches through the heart of the forest. Its wooded banks and landscaped beaches make it a pleasant stopover for a nature break or a swim.

great ride

Some arcades are more accessible due to ongoing repair work. A diversion has been put in place.

nighttime. A medieval fortress and Renaissance building, Châteaubriant Castle recounts ten centuries of history. In the Middle Ages, Châteaubriant Castle was at the heart of the Marches of Brittany. It served as a stronghold defending the duchy against the Kingdom of France. The keep, ramparts, seigneurial chapel, and the medieval courtyard lodgings still bear witness to the power of this fortress. In the 16th century, the bailey became a residence opening onto the gardens. The castle gardens are open to the public from February to December. Visit maps are available at the reception-shop for a better understanding of the site. A 3D space allows you to discover, with free access, the architectural evolution of the castle, from the 11th century to the present day. From February to December, heritage mediators will accompany you on an in-depth tour of the castle, its keep, and its gardens.

The Provostière pond, with a surface area of 73 ha, is connected to the Vioreau lake by the Rigole des Ajaux. This complex is part of the supply system of the Nantes-Brest canal. Its hydraulic management is ensured by the Loire-Atlantique Department, which has owned it since 2008. A 5.5 km path on which a bird observatory is located allows you to go around the pond in about 1h30.

The Grand Réservoir de Vioreau, located near Joué-sur-Erdre in the Pays de la Loire region, is an impressive body of water covering approximately 900 hectares. Originally built to regulate the flow of the Erdre and ensure the water supply to the surrounding areas, the reservoir now provides a magnificent setting for mountain biking. The surrounding trails offer varied terrain, from smooth lakeside paths to challenging and rugged sections through the nearby forests.
