Nature and trails

Along the banks of the Loire in Ancenis-Saint-Géréon, there are quays and landscaped paths for walking. In the middle of the Loire lies Île Mouchet, a Natura 2000 nature area. The island has a 3.1-kilometre circular route with marked paths; information boards describe its fauna and flora.

The orienteering course on Île Mouchet takes between 1.5 and 3 hours and is at risk of flooding.

A footpath to the Marais de Grée starts at the Maison du marais. The ornithological observatory at the Marais de Grée offers panoramic views of meadows that are dry in summer and extensive stretches of water in winter. Various birds and plants can be observed in the Marais de Grée.
