The Château de La Desnerie is a magnificent 18th century building. Built in 1743 by the architect Jean-Baptiste Ceineray, it is surrounded by French gardens designed by André Le Nôtre. This historic estate, with its freestone facade and baroque details, offers guided tours and hosts cultural events.

To admire this private castle, simply register at the equestrian center, the first activity on the estate, take the path along the Erdre, or go to the opposite bank, at a place called Gachet. The castle was the stately home of La Chapelle-sur-Erdre at the end of the 13th century. It became the possession of Arthur de Lespervier, great huntsman of the Duke of Brittany who had the castle built at the end of the 15th century in the flamboyant Gothic style of that of Goulaine. It became a Protestant stronghold at the beginning of the 16th century with its new owner, François de la Noue known as Bras de Fer, faithful companion of Henri IV. It was restored in the 19th century by the Poydras de la Lande family.

Great castle/castle. You can walk around the castle walls for free - all the way around - and get a great overview of the new and old town. Great facility.

The first traces of the construction of the Château de la Juliennais date back to the 15th century. On the other hand, the building in its present form dates from 1860. Located on the GR 3, the castle and its surroundings offer a very pleasant setting, with woods, a pond and horses.

Perhaps the most beautiful castle in the Erdre valley.

Castle dating from the 15th century and in its current form mainly from the 18th century. A hiking trail runs along the Erdre, but it is only passable by mountain bike or gravel. Namely that a more rolling path bypasses the castle to the west and crosses the wood of Desnerie to the south.

The Loire Valley Tour Today we start our "Castles of the Loire Tour" ( Loire Valley Tour ) in the birthplace of Jules Verne in Nantes. In 1828 the writer saw the light of day here. In 80 days he went around the world; we will remain many worlds away from that with our bikes. Hoping for favorable westerly winds, we work our way east; towards the source. In Sully-sur-Loire, but no later than in Gien, we plan to say goodbye to the Loire Valley. The sections ahead of us from Nantes via Angers, Saumur, Chinon, Tours and Blois to Orléans are a small part of the Eurovelo 6 from the Atlantic to Constanta in Romania on the Black Sea and are additionally from Tours to Orléans a fraction of the Eurovelo 3 pilgrimage route from Trondheim in Norway to Santiago de Compostela in Spain.
