Heritage interpretation trail in Pornic / Upper city

Presentation

A heritage interpretation trail is available in the upper town, with interpretation panels and a digital application.

This heritage interpretation trail is made up of five explanatory panels installed at emblematic sites in the town, revealing the history of this ancient castle town.

These metal supports are located :

• opposite the château (along the shaded pathway above the car park)
• at the calvary on the Douve
• on the Place des Halles
• on the Place de la Terrasse
• and on the Place du Marchix.

Each panel includes illustrations, old photographs, commentary and a mini-game. 

The reading table at the Calvaire de la Douve offers an exceptional view of the town with commentary. It is made up of commented landmarks to help you better understand the urban landscape.

A parallel tour is also available on the Archistoire application, with interactive content.
The aim of this hybrid reality digital tour is to give everyone a chance to understand the upper town, from the construction of the castle town right up to the present day, through an immersive experience.
Old photographs, reconstructions and characters bring the past to life.
The application highlights elements of interest and reveals hidden or lost details. The historical commentaries are accompanied by short games. Up to 2 hours of discovery. 
Nails are fixed to the ground corresponding to the 14 stations of this mobile application.
