An idea from Romantic weekend in the Vignoble Nantais

Take a seat in the glass roof of the Restaurant de la Vallée, a luminous setting nestling opposite the château and the Sèvre Nantaise. Through the large picture windows, you can gaze out over the ancient stonework and peaceful stream. On the plate, the meticulous cuisine celebrates local produce and makes your romantic weekend a moment to remember.

Treat yourself to a wellness break for two in the heart of Clisson, in a cocoon of warmth and softness: O’Spa Saint Antoine. This intimate haven on the banks of the River Moine welcomes you for a suspended moment, ideal for a romantic getaway in the Loire-Atlantique region.

Open the door, breathe in the warm air of the herbal-scented hammam, and let yourself be carried away by the bubbles of the jacuzzi with its view of the river and the Pont Saint-Antoine. In the herbal tea room, local pastries from Maison Suzanne accompany a gourmet break between treatments.

The highlight of the trip? A tailor-made duo massage using organic products made from local vines and plants.

Open to all – whether guests of the Best Western Villa Saint Antoine or just passing through – the spa offers a haven of serenity right in the heart of the city, where couples can celebrate love, reconnect or simply slow down. An idea for a romantic weekend that rejuvenates bodies and bonds.

To savour the setting sun, take a seat on the terrace of the bar-restaurant La Cascade, with its feet almost in the water. The atmosphere here is festive, friendly and romantic: the guinguette garlands light up as the day wears on, the glasses* clink gently on the wooden tables, and the lapping of the river accompanies the bursts of colourful voices.

Order an organic mocktail, craft beer or local wine*. And share a plate of tapas or a homemade burger, served until nightfall. It’s a light, sensory and joyful way to end your first day as a nature couple, gazing into each other’s eyes at the water’s edge.

Head for theAuberge du Val de Loire in Divatte-sur-Loire, where a lunch of Loire flavours awaits you. Here, local produce reigns supreme: grilled eels, sautéed frogs, pike-perch in beurre blanc, served in a warm atmosphere of studio glass and subdued blue. The large dining room opens onto the Loire and its changing lights, providing a soothing setting for a romantic weekend. Generous, refined cuisine to savour in the midst of a deep conversation.

Take a stroll alongLevée de la Divatte, the panoramic dyke overlooking the Loire. From the lookout point at La Pierre Percée, admire the river and absorb its calm. Then walk to La Chebuette to the rhythm of your footsteps and your confidences. The scenery unfolds with wide meanders hemmed in with golden sand, wild islands grazed by birds, and the silhouettes of barges that once glided by loaded with barrels.

To round off your nature break in style, head to the Moulin du Plessard base with Canoë Kayak Clisson for a trip on the Sèvre Nantaise.

At the end of the afternoon, two of you will embark, paddle in hand, for 1 hour of gentle gliding between wooded banks and the reflection of the sun on the river. The murmur of the water, the thrill of the dragonflies, the dancing shadows on the rocks… A timeless moment to enjoy each other’s company.

Finish the day in the Garenne Valentin, where you spread out your tablecloth for a romantic picnic: farmhouse bread, mature cheeses, juicy fruit and Muscadet*, to be savoured overlooking the Moine valley. A final magical interlude to fill up on shared memories.
