A sign indicates the level of the last major floods of the Loire and it is quite impressive.
At the side of the road, an oak tree of remarkable size, for its (relatively) young age of 170 years. The silty floods benefited him well.

Cale des Cosniers

Highlight • Other

Boat dock whose dimensions suggest that it was very active in the past. It still hosts a few boats and apparently cruise ships on the river. Beautiful view of the river which is well worth a short break.
To discover in the hamlet, the family home of the novelist Hervé Bazin.

Cale de la Chaussée

Highlight • River

This former natural port of the river, transformed into a ship's hold in 1867, was mainly used for the transport of lime.
One of the many spots between Ancenis and La Meilleraie to admire the Loire (and especially its sandbanks).
