Étang Saint-Nicolas

Highlight • Lake

You can discover the Saint-Nicolas Pond by following the wooded path which runs along both banks of the artificial lake. With a length of 5 to 7.7 kilometers, this trail offers varied natural landscapes: forests, meadows and dry moors. You can also enjoy views of Charlemont Fortress, a 16th century stronghold built by Emperor Charles V. The Etang Saint-Nicolas is a historic site that dates back to the 10th century, when it was created by Count Foulques Nerra to supply water to the nearby Abbey of Saint-Nicolas. You can access the Étang Saint-Nicolas on foot from the town of Angers, or by car from the nearby car park. You can also take a boat cruise on the Maine to see the pond from another perspective.

Saint Nicholas Pond

Highlight • Lake

The Garenne park is a beautiful place to enjoy nature, with an avenue of century-old chestnut trees, an orchard, a variety of plants and flowers. You will also be able to admire the remarkable trees of the park, which were the subject of an exhibition on the Loire Atlantique. The Garenne park is close to the Étang Saint-Nicolas, a body of water where you can go running.
