Discover Landemont

Landemont offers several specific points of interest to help you plan your trip: walking trails, local heritage, local food products and a picnic area. These topics give you a first impression of the activities and interests you can include in your stay. The information below ranges from the slopes of the Divatte to historic buildings, a farm shop and a place to take a break outdoors.

Hiking trails, scenery and leisure activities

There are three walking trails in Landemont. The “Le Petit Anjou” route starts in the village. The trail network also recalls the former “Le Petit Anjou” railway; traces of the historic railway that still remain provide a point of interest along a walk. The network runs across the gently rolling slopes of the Divatte. In the wider area around Landemont, the Divatte valley is designated as an “espace naturel sensible” (ENS; sensitive natural area). This brings together different landscape features: the trails offer views of the slopes, while the ENS designation places the valley in a broader regional context. Leisure activities also include hiking, cyclosport and palets clubs.

Heritage and local history

The Church of Notre-Dame in Landemont is a 19th-century building and a heritage site listed in the archaeological records. The Pont Thurinet bridge near La Pelleterie dates from the 15th and 16th centuries. These buildings mark different periods; the area’s history goes back further. In 1040, Jean d’Aurèle gave the monks of Marmoutier a borderie (smallholding) at a place called “Landamon”. The monks cleared the area, which was covered in forests and heathland. In 1709, Father Louis Marie Grignon de Montfort stayed in a house on Rue du Bocage while preaching a mission in the Nantais area. The two dates relate to different historical contexts: 1040 to a donation and land clearance, and 1709 to a stay in a religious context.

Local products and picnic area

For local food products, visit Ferme du Gaec de la Divatte in Landemont. It offers local and seasonal products; the farm shop sells dairy products, charcuterie, beef and eggs directly. The products listed range from dairy products and eggs to charcuterie and beef—a specific selection for travellers seeking local and seasonal produce.

Les Jardins de l’Étoile is a picnic area at the edge of Landemont, behind the Étoile des Charneaux hall. It has a covered area, as well as children’s play equipment and toilets. The area is on the road to Angers; it is about 40 minutes from Nantes, and the banks of the Loire are 10 km away. The picnic area offers different practical features from the farm shop: here, the focus is on an outdoor break and the facilities listed, while the farm shop sells food products directly.

The location details also serve different purposes: the edge of the village and the Étoile des Charneaux hall place the picnic area in its local setting; the road to Angers gives a direction. By contrast, the approximately 40-minute journey from Nantes and the 10 km to the banks of the Loire provide a sense of the wider area.
