Discover the banks of the Erdre
If you're looking for a break from the hustle and bustle of the city while still staying in Nantes, head to the banks of the Erdre. This river, often nicknamed "The most beautiful in France" by François I, offers an ideal setting for strolling, sailing, or recharging your batteries, all just minutes from the Sure Hôtel Nantes Beaujoire.
Begin your stroll with a relaxing break at the Île de Versailles.
This Japanese garden, nestled on the banks of the Erdre, immerses you in a Zen atmosphere amidst cherry blossoms, water lilies, and small shaded paths.
It's the perfect place for a nature break right in the city center.
As you travel up the Erdre, don't miss the Beaujoire Floral Park, known for its superb collections of magnolias and roses.
The place is peaceful, lush, and very popular with botany enthusiasts.
Further on, be amazed by the famous "folies nantaises," these elegant residences bordering the river.
Formerly owned by shipowners, they reveal exotic gardens worthy of a bygone era.
To learn more, embark with the Bateaux Nantais for a guided river cruise.
Want to take to the open sea? Rent a canoe, paddleboard, or electric boat and explore the banks from the water.
Every late summer, the riverbanks come alive with the Rendez-vous de l'Erdre festival: around a hundred concerts, jazz on the water, and a friendly atmosphere to be enjoyed to the fullest.
Prefer to walk? Follow the path between the Ceineray Basin and the Jonelière Bridge.
This 3-hour trail reveals a more tranquil side of Nantes, between nature and heritage, ideal for recharging your batteries without leaving the city.
