Sucé sur Erdre can accommodate up to 300 boats, including the port in the town center and the smaller ports upstream and downstream.

Sucé-sur-Erdre is located about 15 kilometers north of Nantes on the banks of the Erdre river. The municipality has a port on the river, which widens a few kilometers north to Lac de Mazerolles, on the west bank of which begins the 11.3 km² Mazerolles bog.

The name of the municipality, first mentioned in the 10th century, comes from the Latin sulcus, which means furrow in German, and from the Celtic erdam, which means small river.
Sucé was a stronghold of Calvinist preachers in the 16th and 17th centuries. Under Charles IX, during the First Huguenot War, Huguenots, who were forbidden to practice their religion in Nantes, retreated to Sucé and built a fortified meeting place there, of which only the Tour Gaillard remains today. The Bishop of Nantes ordered its destruction in 1677. Source: Wikipedia
