Nort-sur-Erdre base

Emmanuelle Beguec and Jean Baptiste Audic shall be happy to welcome you at Nort-sur-Erdre Base, and to give you all the information you need to start your cruise on brittany canals.  We are looking forward to seeing you!

Nort-sur-Erdre offers a very pretty, quiet and natural setting on the river Erdre.  Discover its natural heritage with its footpaths, its stretch of water with picnic areas, playground for children, canoo, swimming and sailing at Vioreau lake.

Cruising on the Erdre, you admire the magnificent scenery with the private "Folies" dating from the 18th and 19th centuries.

Cruising west along the Nantes-Brest-Canal and discover tranquility, quiet unspoilt countrysides, an array of wildlife, quiet sleepy villages, the rich Breton cultural heritage, its traditional Fetes, culinary specialties like galettes, crepes and cider.  Welcome to Brittany!
