  • L’ILE DE CHALONNES©

The largest river island in Europe, the Ile de Chalonnes is an island where farming is still very much alive. Renowned for its hemp and tobacco cultivation, today it is corn, sunflowers, asparagus and melons that are grown. Numerous hamlets dot the island, dotting the landscape and home to almost 300 inhabitants, proud of their identity. Regularly flooded in winter due to high water, the island of Chalonnes changes its face with the seasons. The Loire à Vélo cycle route, between Angers and Nantes, allows you to discover this wild island with its incomparable flora and fauna.
