Chaumes-en-Retz

Born in 2016 from the union of the historic towns of Chéméré and Arthon-en-Retz, this small town, 39 km from Nantes, enjoys a privileged location between the rivers of the Blanche, the Haute-Perche canal and the Princé forest, all 8 km from the beaches of the Côte de Jade.

Did you know?
The village is called Chaumes-en-Retz, echoing the thatched stone: a mixture of limestone and clay found in the subsoil of the 2 historic towns.

Soline and Florence's favourites:


Soline : Le Jardin d'Arthus, a restaurant with an atypical flea market style decoration, professional service and original and succulent small dishes (this good table is recommended between locals: remember to book in advance).

Andrea and Florence : The Enchanted Islands. As a history buff, this site, made up of 5 islets surrounded by canals, plunges us into a time when these Renaissance gardens, which have now disappeared, come to life for us thanks to the vestiges that can be guessed. A walk out of time where the imagination takes over and allows us to go back to the time of the lord of Retz at the beginning of the 17th century, Henri de Gondy.
