Presentation

Located in Saint-Cyr-en-Retz, at an altitude of 34 metres, the orientation table offers a panoramic view of Bourgneuf Bay, the Breton marshes and the surrounding countryside.
 Surrounded by the hedgerows and vineyards of Saint-Cyr-en-Retz, the orientation table is located on the edge of the hillsides and vineyards of the commune of Villeneuve-en-Retz.

Originally, in the 1970s, the Pornic artist Paul UFER created the first marble table, allowing visitors to read the landscape and panorama. At that time, visitors could admire the landscapes to the left towards Fresnay and as far as the Machecoul forest. Today, even though the vegetation has grown, you can still see the Marais Breton below, the Bouin wind turbines and the island of Noirmoutier on a clear day.



We tested this tour for you, and here are our favourites :
