The Divatte levee is the last of the Loire levees, built between 1847 and 1856 from Saint Sébastien to La Chapelle Basse Mer over a distance of almost 16 km to contain the land from the river's devastating floods and allow crops to develop.
|
It is named after the little river "La Divatte" on the border between the departments of Loire-Atlantique and Maine-et-Loire, the historic border between Brittany and Anjou.
It is made up of 600,000 m3 of sand, earth and stone taken from the banks of the Loire. It measures 14 m at the base and 8 m at the top, with an average height of 3 m.
Individual and group tours available from the Tourist Office: 02 40 54 02 95 from the villages of La Chebuette in St Julien de Concelles and La Pierre Percée in Divatte-sur-Loire.
