Arcades of the Gué de la Roche

Highlight • Bridge

Picnic table below the aqueduct. The site of the ford on the Erdre is also charming (but impassable when I passed there).

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.

Saint Christopher Church

Highlight • Other

Large and beautiful neo-Gothic church whose construction was completed in 1903. Curiosity: the bell tower of the old church, the Church of Saint-Georges, has been preserved and still stands in front of the new church.

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.
