BOTANICAL GARDEN OF THE RIA
A hidden garden that is the kingdom of exotic plants, with rice paddies, water terraces, waterfalls...
After strolling along the docks, you have arrived at the Ria, where another nice walk awaits you. You will evolve in a vegetal environment with an immediate feeling of relaxation. The Garden of the Ria is indeed set back from the hustle and bustle of the city and well hidden. Located in the extension of the old port, near the tourist office and the train station, go around the Café du Port and you're there. Opened in 2013, it will eventually extend over 13 hectares. It was designed by the renowned landscape architect Thierry Huau, to whom we owe in particular the design of Terra Botanica in Angers. The once fallow site has been cleaned up and has become the kingdom of exotic plants, with the ambition of reviving the landing of these plants transported by boat from far away lands. Over 1 km along the canal de la Haute-Perche, you can see rice fields lined with camellias, water terraces, small waterfalls, wooden pontoons... A change of scenery guaranteed!

Et puis, il y a la voie ferrée d'un côté et du béton sans cesse grandissant de l'autre.....et la cerise sur le gâteau, c'est la 4 voies en toile de fond sans aucune barrière d'arbres, haies....pour diminuer les nuisances du bruit et la vue (la municipalité de répondre que ça concerne la région mais il convient déjà d'en faire la demande) ! Et pour finir une eau polluée qui provient du Canal de Haute Perche et un chemin pour vélos et marcheurs....ça ne fait pas toujours bon ménage ! Question subsidiaire.....où ont été enfouis les déchets de l'Erika ? Aucune réponse de la Mairie ?? La nature verte à Pornic pas si verte que ça !
