Walking trail "The Arcades"
Description
The Arcades
The departure point, in Nort-sur-Erdre, is from the road of Issé at the parking of La Belletière.
Go and discover a trail that you have never seen before by taking the edges of the feeding conduct. Also known as the “Little Canal”, the conduct joins the Lake of Vioreau to the Nantes-Brest Canal, from the lock house of “Pas d’Héric”. It allows that the first section of the canal has water to balance the reduction of water due to the lockage and evaporation of water during the summer.
Its construction is a technical piece of art. With a slope of only 14 centimetres per kilometre of 21.3 kilometres long, the feeding conduct goes through the high Valley of the Erdre thanks to 4 aqueducts from 8 to 10 arches and goes underground on over 600 metres. It is covered by a lot of little bridges of quaint stones.
Depending on the season, you will see the Castle of la Lucinière and its wooded domain on the other side of the Valley of the Erdre.
