Our must-haves Domaine la Garenne Lemot in Gétigné

From Clisson town centre, walk to the Domaine de la Garenne Lemot . Imagine yourself strolling along the paths beside the Sèvre Nantaise, like the guests of the 19th-century sculptor Lemot. You’re in a veritable landscape painting, just as the great artist liked it. A 13-hectare trail full of surprises awaits you, culminating in a spectacular antique temple reminiscent of the great Italian landscapes near Rome. An atmosphere of great calm and rejuvenation reigns in the park.

After this discovery, walk to the top of the estate, where two emblematic buildings punctuate this part of the park: the neo-classical Villa Lemot. During the summer, the Villa Lemot is transformed into a venue for temporary exhibitions featuring major international artists. Its terrace will be the highlight of your visit. Admire and enjoy the spectacular view over the town and the Château de Clisson. A little further on is the Maison du Jardinier, the first example of Italian-style architecture typical of the Nantes vineyards. The Maison du Jardinier welcomes visitors to the park, and features a permanent interactive exhibition entitled Le Rêve Italien (The Italian Dream) by François Frédéric Lemot. The exhibitions are free and open to all.
