Saint-Lumine-De-Clisson can be explored via trails along the Maine, vineyards and Muscadet. The local routes differ in their landscapes; Entre Terres et Vignes also has a stated distance, an approximate duration and the option of cycling. You can therefore choose primarily based on whether you want to focus on riverbanks, vineyard slopes, a circuit with a specified duration or local history. Lines 304, 70 and 90 connect the town with Nantes, so getting there is also part of the planning.

Trails between riverbanks and vineyards

Les coteaux luminais starts in the Village de la Fourère in Saint-Lumine-De-Clisson and runs along the Maine through a wild, unspoilt landscape. Its named starting point and route along the river give this trail its distinctive character.

The Circuit de Maine en Vignes runs through the villages, countryside and vineyards of Saint-Lumine-De-Clisson and along the banks of the Maine. The Boucle de la Maine runs between the banks of the Maine and the vineyard slopes, ending at the Porte-Vue, a viewpoint. The descriptions therefore differ in what they emphasise: villages and vineyards, the combination of riverbank and slope, or a named viewpoint.

The Entre Terres et Vignes loop starts in Saint-Lumine-De-Clisson, is rated easy, is 8.6 kilometres long and takes about 2 hours and 15 minutes. It can also be cycled. The distance and approximate duration help you gauge the time involved; the cycling option also applies to this route. When choosing, you can therefore base your decision either on the landscape or on a tour with a specific stated duration.

Muscadet and local history

Domaine Bruno Cormerais is associated with winemakers Maxime and Marie-Françoise Cormerais. They produce fruity Muscadet wines on the steep banks of the Maine; the selection includes a variety of cuvées and vintages. As well as the trails, winegrowing is therefore another specific topic to consider when deciding on a stay.

One historical landmark is the Chapelle Saint Louis. It was built by the parish priest of Saint-Lumine-De-Clisson and blessed on 20 January 1766. The exact date brings the chapel’s history to life and offers a different way to discover the town than its scenic routes or winegrowing.
