The House in the Loire

Highlight • Monument

La Maison dans la Loire was created by the French artist Jean-Luc Courcoult in 2007. It is a work of public art. After capsizing in her original location in 2012, she was hoisted to her current location, where she now rests on more stable pilings.

Lead Tower, Couëron

Highlight • Monument

A building from the memory of a lost Industry that must be preserved by rehabilitating it and it is in progress 👍

Couëron

Highlight • Settlement

The scenic riverfront is one of the highlights in this town east of Nantes, hugging the northern bank of the Loire. Large sculptures add human artistry to the verdant landscape on the edge of town.

Marais Audubon

Highlight • Natural

The Couëron marshes, known as the Audubon marshes, are part of the vast group of estuarine marshes located near the Loire and closely linked to its regime. They represent 13% of the 65 km2 of the territory of the northern Loire marshes which extends to Cordemais.

To these marshes are added the ancient islands of the Loire which have kept their name but are today attached to the shore: île de la Liberté, île de la Ville en Bois, île Thérèse, île du Grand Pineau… The wetlands constitute a natural heritage and a privileged place for numerous animal and plant species.

Nice little port next to the racecourse

Highlight • Other

The port of Cordemais is a blatant manifestation of the town's deep attachment to its estuary. Redeveloped in 2008, the site now offers more pitches and an ecological fairing area, a unique structure in the Loire estuary.

At the port restaurant, called “O fil de l’Ô”, the chef invites visitors to taste Loire gastronomy
