Pré Vincent Beach

Highlight • Beach

Facing south, Pré-Vincent beach is cut by numerous groynes of wood or rocks. At low tide, the sea retreats several kilometers and gives way to the famous mud from the Bay of Bourgneuf. Near the town center of Moutiers en Retz, the beach is bordered by a promenade exclusively reserved for pedestrians. Pretty silted walk when I hiked it.

The Lyarne marsh, Natura 2000 site, is a former salt marsh with dunes and reedbeds. It is a haven of peace for birds and horses.

Port of Collet

Highlight • Other

For centuries, the port of Collet was the main point of departure for the export of salt produced in the salt marshes of the coast. At the end of the 15th century, more than 200 ships loaded in the bay of Bourgneuf (then known as “bay of Brittany”). Gradually, the siltation of the bay causes the end of the activity.
Thanks to a lock built in 1879 which regulates the waters of the Marais and those of the sea, the port's activity can continue around oyster farming and yachting.

Port du Collet

Highlight • Other

Water management is essential for life in the swamp, it is managed by the SAH. (Syndicate of the Southern Loire Hydraulic Development). 51 municipalities are affected by the regulation of these waters by the Marais Breton Vendée or Marô. There are still 3 main locks in Port la Roche and 2 in Fresne.

Port de la Louippe

Highlight • Other

A tortuously picturesque and totally wild little oyster port, it is a refuge appreciated by all boaters. It is crossed by the cycle path of the Breton marshes going from the port of Collet to the passage of Gois and accessible by a tarmac road. It is essentially a beaching port that is passable at high tide and very well sheltered from the westerly winds. On the other side of the lock, there are a few marsh “Fisheries”, wooden constructions allowing the practice of plaice fishing.

My Garmin turned off due to a low battery, so I switched to Komoot to record the end of the ride. That's to be expected, starting with only 12% battery charge...
