Travel Guide Le Pellerin

Port de Loire, Le Pellerin is located in La Martinière, where the maritime canal of the lower Loire is led, more commonly known as the Martinière Canal. This maritime and river vocation is found throughout its history. A place of passage between the Nantes country and the country of Retz, many pilgrims crossed the Loire in this place to go to Santiago de Compostela. Its strategic location between Nantes and the estuary was in the city of being invaded and ranched by the English, then the Spanish. The proximity of Nantes will allow him to experience a seventeenth century prosperous with triangular trade and shipbuilding. Today is the largest port of low Loire for eel fishing, these tiny eels that sell at gold prices. The municipality bordered the Loire over 18 kilometers. It's one of the greenest towns in the nano-tree area. Le Pellerin has managed to keep its grasslands on the Loire River and has a rich flora and fauna that you can discover through the four hiking routes. Along the wharves, there are beautiful bourgeois houses built by the rich traders and shipowners of the past, which give the local architecture a particularly picturesque charm.
