Cale de la Chaussée

Highlight • River

This former natural port of the river, transformed into a ship's hold in 1867, was mainly used for the transport of lime.
One of the many spots between Ancenis and La Meilleraie to admire the Loire (and especially its sandbanks).

Port of Ancenis

Beautiful view of the Loire …

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.

The Great Menhir of Pierres Meslières

Highlight • Other

Large quartzite menhir, 3m76 high. It was probably part of an alignment of several dozen menhirs, which have now disappeared.

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.
