In Saint-André-des-Eaux, near La Baule and Saint-Nazaire, Jean-Sébastien Crusson offers four-wheeled pedal cycle rides in the Parc naturel régional de Brière area. Here, the four-wheeled pedal cycle forms part of a much broader exploration of the marsh and Brière countryside.
Things to know before visiting
- Departure is from the port de la Chaussée Neuve area in Saint-André-des-Eaux.
- The operator also offers guided flat-bottomed boat trips, rowing boat hire, horse-drawn carriage rides and ponies.
- Four-wheeled pedal cycle prices and durations are not published clearly enough online: it is best to call before travelling.
- Parking, a picnic area and a sheltered space are advertised on site.
The little extra
The real appeal is combining two ways of discovering Brière: the four-wheeled pedal cycle on land, followed by a flat-bottomed boat to enter the marsh canals. It is a much greater change of scenery than a simple seafront hire.
