Itinerary Estuaire Nantes <> Saint -Nazaire

An artistic overland trail

Get ready for a walk like no other! "Estuaire Nantes <> Saint-Nazaire” on in 2007-2009-2012 is a collection of installations in the open air.

Description

The internationally renowned artists create something to take you off the beaten track along the estuary. Since 2007, 16 installations are parts of a whole stretching over 60kms. A house suspended 15m up, a 7m pendulum swinging on the side of an old cement works, a star garden, a 40m snake, a water nymph camped out in the Saint-Félix canal, a garden on the roof of a submarine base, a boat that sulks, an observation tower in the middle of a marsh and the now famous ‘rings’ by Buren in the port of Nantes. All of these installations stand out on their own as well as taking you round a fascinating land, discovering local natural environment.
