Discover the Erdre by boat with Ruban Vert!
The Erdre is a river lined with parks and châteaux between Nantes and Sucé-sur-Erdre. After 15 minutes of city navigation and once past the Tortière bridge, you will be sailing in the heart of nature.
To discover the various remarkable viewpoints along the Erdre, we recommend setting off for a half-day or a full day. You can stop for a meal at one of the restaurants in Sucé-sur-Erdre, or have a picnic on the boat. Ruban Vert offers boats equipped with a table upon request.
