Church from the late 19th century. The (small) town center of Malville is quite cute and well-maintained. Few shops, but there are toilets.

Lock number 10. Very friendly welcome at the lock house, which offers drinks, ice creams, etc. And the terrace under the trees is really nice.

Small river port, fishing and marina, where you can visit the "Terre d'Estuaire" museum on the theme of the Loire estuary. Picnic tables, restaurant, restrooms, and drinking water are available. The footbridge, like the bridge, provides access to Villa Cheminée on the western tip of the island.
