Cale de la Chaussée

Highlight • River

This former natural port of the river, transformed into a ship's hold in 1867, was mainly used for the transport of lime.

Ancenis Bridge

Highlight • Monument

The Ancenis bridge, also called the Bretagne-Anjou bridge because it links the Loire-Atlantique to Maine-et-Loire by crossing the Loire.

It is an impressive 412-meter suspension bridge that is part of the "Loire à Vélo" cycle route.
