Goulaine Canal

Highlight • Other

Nice walk along this canal which once allowed barges laden with lime to go up to Nantes. A little dented in places.

Forget Island is a classic for mountain biking or gravel cycling with the family just a few minutes from downtown Nantes. You can go all the way around it and continue with the nearby Pinette Island. There is also a small cross-country circuit there. It is a former meadow that was used as pasture and is now more of a place for leisure (even if you can still find donkeys, cows and sheep there). The island is separated from the mainland by the Boireau, an arm of the Loire that is more or less in water depending on the tides and seasons.

Vertou Lock

Highlight • Bridge

Originally built in 1755, the lock was badly damaged during the French Revolution before being renovated in 1839.

In its extension is the ford built by the Benedictine monks of the Saint-Martin-de-Vertou abbey. This was used to join the two banks of the Sèvre Nantaise.

Sèvre Nantaise Loop

Highlight • River

One of endless scenic turns in the Sèvre river. The bike trail on the northern side of the river is more scenic on this section, though the view from the south can be better with the light.
