La chapelle sur erdre

La Chapelle-sur-Erdre is a town in the Loire-Atlantique department, a few kilometres north of Nantes, of which it is now a bordering commune within the metropolitan area. Its name comes from its location along the River Erdre, known for its green landscapes and banks well suited to walking and gentle water activities such as canoeing or boat trips. The town includes several stretches of water, including the Boissière pond, popular for relaxation and outdoor pursuits. A network of cycle paths and footpaths runs along the riverbanks and through wooded areas, offering a peaceful setting despite the immediate proximity of Nantes, easily reached by tram. The climate is oceanic, with mild winters and temperate summers, typical of the Pays de la Loire region. La Chapelle-sur-Erdre retains a residential, family-friendly character, with local shops and sports facilities. It serves as a convenient base for exploring both the Erdre valley and the wider Nantes area, combining nature with easy access to city life.
