Presentation

Fancy a break between land and sea?
The Pays de Retz offers unique landscapes, between the Loire estuary, the Atlantic Ocean, the Nantes basin and the Vendée.
Welcome to La Bernerie, Les Moutiers and Villeneuve.

Departing from the Place de l'Église Madame in the centre of Les Moutiers, this 20.3km loop trail, in its shortest section, is a great way for families to discover the varied landscapes between the marshes, the Bay of Bourgneuf and the rural area with its farming, wine-growing and craft industries.

Along the way, you'll discover the secrets :

•     the town and history of Moutiers-en-Retz and Villeneuve-en-Retz
•     the salt works (Tenue de Mareil, Salorge de Millac)
•     the port of Collet
•     the Marcel soap factory
•     vineyards (Domaine des Sylphes, Moulin de la Touche)
•     Prigny chapel
•     Port Royal
•     the oyster-farming area
•     The Pays de Retz Museum
•     the Arzelier mill

Between mills and vineyards, salorge and chapel, a whole living heritage awaits you along the cycle path !
