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.
