Vertou walks
Through the woods and vineyards south of Vertou
A family hike that crosses villages, forests, woods and vineyards south of Vertou. A circular route starting from the École de l'Enclos, which largely follows the Portillon route.
The Sèvre, its hillsides and mills between Vertou and La Haye-Fouassière
This hike takes place mainly on paths. Going from village to village, it offers a beautiful variety of landscapes: there are both wide-open views of the vineyards and the Sèvre Nantaise valley, and wooded passages, particularly along the banks of the Sèvre.
It can be enjoyed in any season, with the colours and light offering ever-changing pleasures!
Between Saint-Fiacre and Château-Thébaud
This loop mainly takes place in the vineyards between Saint-Fiacre-sur-Maine and Château-Thébaud, south of Nantes. It offers some lovely views, particularly at the Belvédère de Château-Thébaud, which overlooks the Maine. The circuit follows farm tracks through the vineyards (some of which may be private). The landscape changes with the seasons and the different colours of the vineyards.
Circular between La Haye-Fouassière and Le Pallet
This hike starts at the port of La Haye-Fouassière and follows a circular route along the south bank of the Sèvre Nantaise to Monnières (on the Way of St James), with an optional detour to the reservoir on the Sèvre at Le Pallet (approximately 15 km without this option).
It offers commanding views over the Sèvre and its surroundings and often winds its way through vineyards.
Strolling through the centre of Nantes
Stream: discover the city's historical, architectural and cultural heritage (and even its gastronomic heritage, with its small and large restaurants).
Jaguère and the banks of the Loire
This pleasant walk starts from the Yves Laurent promenade, runs along the Loire and passes through a small, pleasant park with a pond (Clos Saint-Julien).
Banks of the Loire from the Île de Nantes to the Pont de Mauves-sur-Loire
Half gravel, half asphalt, this route along the Loire offers beautiful views of this magnificent river, with lovely shaded sections on the return from Mauves to Nantes. Several open-air cafés along the way offer refreshments and/or drinks at spots chosen for their tranquillity and ideal location.
Quai des Romains in Pont Saint-Martin
This circuit follows the Ognon, which feeds into the Lac de Grand Lieu, located a few kilometres to the west. You can find more information on the Pont Saint-Martin hiking website.
Between Cens, Gesvres and Erdre for a visit to stream
Semi-urban hike along three rivers that wind through Stream: the Cens, the Gesvres and the Erdre. The crossing over the Beaujoire bridge may be uncomfortable for people who are afraid of heights or have vertigo (especially on the stairs).
Cens, Erdre and Gesvres, three streams of Nantes
An easy hike along three streams: le Cens, l'Erdre, and le Gesvres. Nature within the town of Nantes.
Circuit along the banks of the Sèvre Nantaise and vineyards from Le Pallet
This walk takes you along the Sèvre Nantaise, passing through a small port and winding its way through the Muscadet vineyards, while you admire the small, typical, historic villages of the Nantes vineyards.
Bouguenais, its valley, its banks of the Loire, its picturesque villages
Discover unspoilt nature south of the Nantes conurbation. A circuit that winds along a stream and the Loire, through marshes and over the heights of the Roche Ballue quarry. You will discover Nantes and its conurbation. You will pass through picturesque little villages in unspoilt countryside.
Circuit along the banks of the Erdre in Carquefou
This beautiful walk begins with a visit to Chantrerie Park and its remarkable trees. A short detour behind some more or less heavily built-up areas will take you to Étang Hervé and then Port Breton. The return journey will then take you along the Erdre.
The Loire and its market garden valley seen from the heights of Mauves-sur-Loire.
Enjoy the beautiful views and landscapes without moderation on this route, where climbs, terraced paths, promontories above the Loire and descents near the river are not measured in terms of travel time, but in terms of appreciation of these admirable places.
Greenery between Treillières and La Chapelle-sur-Erdre
Starting from Les Closes du Verger, you will discover a beautiful green area nestled between Treillières and La Chapelle-sur-Erdre. Through fields and forest paths, this is a lovely way to discover nature on the outskirts of Nantes.
