A peaceful little town in the Erdre Valley, Sucé-sur-Erdre is the perfect starting point for your river cruise, allowing you to discover by boat the 17 châteaux nicknamed the “Nantes Follies.” These elegant residences were built by wealthy Nantes merchants during the dark period of the transatlantic slave trade. Today, they are privately owned and admired by many boaters,whether in canoes, stand-up paddleboards, small sailboats, license-free riverboats, or on cruise boats offering onboard meals.
