Go for a walk in the old districts of Chalonnes and its countryside. You will first take the GR3 in the direction of the Quai Gambetta, take the opportunity to admire the Loire, the bridge of Chalonnes and its beautiful houses. You will then head towards the Tour St Pierre and then you will take a covered passage to continue your walk in the streets of Chalonnes. You will go down a small passage towards the banks of the Loire, to then go up towards the lime kilns St Vincent. Get ready for a small climb on a path, where you will then walk along the Loire below. Be careful, you will be able to see it through the trees in some clearer places.
