In the urban section, you will discover the city's historical treasures, its castle, its cathedral, and some of the most iconic sites of Nantes culture.

Departure from Saint-Herblain (Loire-Atlantique)
A walk taking you from park to park, largely following the course of the Chézine, a small, capricious river that can pose a challenge to walkers wearing unsuitable footwear. It will introduce you to the new housing estates and, above all, to the superb and pleasant footpaths created by the municipality of Saint-Herblain. Well done!
