クエロンの天然記念物・トップ5

Park overlooking the extraordinary garden with a clear view of Nantes, the Loire and the west of the island of Nantes. There are children's play areas, a belvedere, sports fields, lawns, beautiful trees and a surprising statue.

I couldn't shake the stone, but you can try :-) Peaceful site on the banks of the Acheneau River. Wet in wet weather.

A park for the moment not very big, but very original

Behind these graffiti hides the extraordinary garden of Nantes. Entry is free, you can't refuse it. https://jardins.nantes.fr/N/Jardin/Parcs-Jardins/Plus/2114/Jardin-Extraordinaire.asp

Always accessible from the town of Cheix-en-Retz. But be careful, the next part of the circuit can be flooded in winter.

Not found where to go up to make it move, but I'll try another time :-)

Returned to vertical at the beginning of November 2021, this menhir is the highest in Loire Atlantique with its 4.23 meters and its 24 tonnes of granite. Incredible that it took a 120-ton crane to lift the stone, when at the time a single man, admittedly a little wrapped up, carried it on his back. More seriously, this monolith obviously has nothing to do with the Gauls since it was already in place more than 2000 years before their arrival on the scene.

Located in a beautiful natural site, this pond, in fact an old quarry filled with water, is open for swimming. Be careful, beyond the buoys, the pond becomes very deep and therefore dangerous. It is therefore necessary to supervise the children. There are also children's games, picnic tables and a bicross field on site. NB: entry is payable in summer (with supervised swimming). Apart from the road, several options of paths to get there or from there: The Chemin des Foulques allows you to continue along the slopes towards La Montagne, for fairly committed cycling and passages that will require you to dismount. The path of the Estacade which goes towards the Loire (cul-de-sac) offers several observation posts of the wetlands and their avian fauna. The Chemin de la Mandrine links with the Port Lavigne shipyard and the statues of animals perched in the trees. Finally, the Chemin de la Sangle goes towards Bouguenais. Nice, but you have to climb a long and steep staircase, so not at all compatible with heavy bikes or panniers.
