Nort-sur-Erdre is where the unspoilt navigable section of the River Erdre begins, winding its way through marshes and outstanding wildlife areas, an ideal setting for contemplation and daydreaming as you cruise along.
A trip through time along the banks of the River Erdre.
Opening of the 2023 season on Saturday, April 29th!
The little river port of Nort-sur-Erdre, also known as the “pond”, was built around 1840. It attracts both history-lovers, due to its rich architectural heritage, and holiday-makers who enjoy the walks along the river. The port was a major commercial inland waterway hub for over a century. When commercial traffic stopped in the 1970s, it naturally became a favorite spot for leisure craft.
How to get there
By car: About 30 minutes from Nantes city center.
Before or after your trip, stop for lunch at the BM restaurant in Nort-sur-Erdre, 14 place du bassin. If you are out for the day, stop in one of the restaurants on the harbor at Sucé-sur-Erdre.
