Hiking
The Touffou Forest is a small green lung in the Nantes metropolitan area. In 1977, the Department acquired 47 of the 230 hectares of this forest, located in Vertou, and opened it to the public. Once a hunting ground for the Dukes of Brittany and a source of income thanks to forestry, the Touffou Forest covered more than 6,000 hectares in the 16th century. Today, 25 times smaller, it has become very attractive but remains an area that needs protection.
