Clisson the other stage to explore

You may not know it yet, but Clisson is one of the region’s must-see tourist towns, and a member of the network of the Most Beautiful Detours in France published by the Michelin Guide!

Make the most of your stay to discover the charm of this medieval town, with its imposing castle, 14th-century covered market, typical little streets and numerous local shops. Don’t miss the big Friday market, where you can discover the best of local life under the Halles. Clisson also has a touch of Italy about it, with a landscape as beautiful as a painting.
