Ancenis Bridge

Highlight • Monument

The Ancenis bridge, also called the Bretagne-Anjou bridge because it links the Loire-Atlantique to Maine-et-Loire by crossing the Loire.

It is an impressive 412-meter suspension bridge that is part of the "Loire à Vélo" cycle route.

Château d'Ancenis

Highlight • Castle

Beautiful small fortified castle, unfortunately wedged between the two main roads of the city and therefore not highlighted too much.

Our Lady of Marillais

Highlight • Historical Site

A place of pilgrimage since the apparition of the Virgin to Saint Maurille, the old chapel has been replaced by a sanctuary of majestic proportions built between 1890 and 1913. The 40-meter-high square tower which marks the surrounding landscape was built after the first World War. Pilgrims always come there to venerate Notre-Dame l'Angevine. There are also several evocations of the Vendée past, with in particular the stained glass window of the "field of the Martyrs".

Route de la Vallée de la Thau

Highlight (Segment) • Cycleway

It's straight, it's all flat, it drives fast and it's pretty, what more could you ask for? A little wind in the back? In the Nantes - Angers direction, this is almost always the case!

The passage over the bridge offers a nice view of the Loire. Unfortunately, the bridge being quite narrow and deprived of cycle paths, it is difficult to stop to fully enjoy the view.

Montjean-sur-Loire Bridge

Highlight • Bridge

Beautiful suspension bridge spanning the Loire. From the bridge you have an excellent view of the Loire, its banks, and many boatmen's boats.

Champtocé is a medieval castle (13th century), famous for having seen the birth there in 1405 of the comrade in arms of Joan of Arc, slash serial mass killer, Gilles de Rais (or Retz).
All that remains today are ruins, of which the single tower lets you imagine what this fortress was like with its... eleven towers at the time.
