THE SHORES OF THE WEANING
Go there and contact
Vertou can be the starting point for a bucolic walk. The path towards Nantes is becoming increasingly urbanized as walking, so perhaps you prefer to leave in the direction of Monnières. Along the Sèvre, you will fall on a few hamlets and navigation docks that recall the commercial past of the stream. In the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, in particular, the Sèvre was widely used to transport the wines and spirits of Loire to Nantes. From there, drums were exported to Orléans, Holland and Northern Europe. In the opposite direction, wood, cereals or lime went up to the nantes vineyard. The arrival of the railway in the middle of the nineteenth century gradually signaled the end of the commercial vocation of the Sèvre.

Départ Vertou à la Chaussée aux Moines. Magnifique rando de 7km le long de la Sèvre. On commence par le petit port et les Restaurants. Continuer en direction du champ de course et revenir par l’autre berge. Le paysage est beau et calme. Superbe levé du soleil ce jour avec une légère brume. Beaucoup d’oiseaux avec des chants différents : Aigrettes, hérons, canards, cormorans. C’est visiblement aussi un magnifique endroit pour les pêcheurs.
Départ indiqué pour de nombreuses ballades dans le pays du muscadet Nantais.
