The Pont de Thouaré, made up of two structures crossing the Loire via the island of Chézine, is a strategic crossing point connecting Thouaré-sur-Loire to Saint-Julien-de-Concelles, heavily used by the daily transport of the Nantes metropolitan network. In October 2025, the Department of Loire-Atlantique and Nantes Métropole implemented an experimental redevelopment over 900 meters to secure the crossing for pedestrians and cyclists: * Priority for soft mobility: Speed reduction to 30 km/h over the entire crossing, painting a continuous white line prohibiting any overtaking, and adding central bike markings on each lane to encourage cyclists to occupy the middle of the passage. * Securing connections: Materialization of a pedestrian strip on the island of Chesnaie, installation of a speed table, and placement of educational speed cameras.

A pretty, slightly narrow bridge that allows you to cross the Loire. A nice view of the Loire at the same time :)
