1. A romantic stroll in the medieval town of Clisson

Strolling through Clisson is a natural invitation to romance. Start your stroll under the medieval covered market (halles), over a café on the terrace, before losing yourself hand in hand in the town’s cobbled streets. As you make your way down the rue de la Collégiale, let yourself be seduced by the light that caresses the orange roofs, a reminder of the city’s Italian inspiration.

Then cross the Pont de la Vallée to admire the Château de Clisson reflected in the Sèvre Nantaise, before reaching the Pont Saint-Antoine to contemplate the Moine and the viaduct in a picturesque setting, perfect for a contemplative break for two.

Extend this romantic interlude at the Garenne Lemot estate, a veritable treasure trove of greenery with transalpine accents. Between statues, cypresses, meadows and water features, time seems to stand still. It’s the perfect way to experience the vineyards for two.

2. Romantic dinner in the glass roof of the Restaurant de la Vallée

For a gourmet interlude for two, take a seat in the glass roof of the Restaurant de la Vallée, a veritable showcase of light in the heart of Clisson. Facing the Château and the Sèvre Nantaise, the large bay windows provide a soothing backdrop where time seems to slow down.

In this intimate atmosphere, the cuisine showcases carefully selected produce, sublimated with finesse. Each dish becomes an invitation to share, ideal for savouring a moment together. As daylight fades and the golden hues of the water come into view, the setting lends itself perfectly to romantic outings and precious moments for two.

3. A moment of relaxation at O'Spa Saint-Antoine

Treat yourself to a wellness break for two in the heart of Clisson, in the soft, enveloping atmosphere of O’Spa Saint-Antoine. Nestling on the banks of the River Moine, this intimate cocoon invites you to slow down and rediscover yourself, far from the hustle and bustle of everyday life.

From the plant-scented hammam to the jacuzzi overlooking the river and the Saint-Antoine bridge, every space is designed to encourage relaxation and togetherness. In the herbal tea room, take a gourmet break with local pastries from Maison Suzanne, perfect for prolonging this moment of indulgence.

4. Sunrise on the Marais de Goulaine

At first light, set off hand in hand to discover the Marais de Goulaine, a vast natural setting classified Natura 2000. At dawn, the landscape is gently transformed: mist floats over the water, golden reflections stretch across the reeds and the silhouettes of birds take shape in the still silence.

Settle down on the banks, wrapped in a blanket, with a hot drink in hand. Here, only the discreet song of the waders and the quivering of their wings disturb the tranquillity of the place. Time seems suspended, offering a rare moment of connection, conducive to confidences and contemplation.

A precious moment to experience the Vignoble as a couple, to start the day gently and share an intimate experience in the heart of unspoilt nature. An ideal outing for those who like to savour simple things, together.

5. Picnic at dusk at La Garenne Lemot

As the sun sets the hillsides ablaze, slip into the Garenne Valentin, nestling above the Moine valley. Spread your tablecloth on the still-warm grass, and let yourself be carried away by the magic of a romantic picnic. The farmhouse bread crunches under your fingers, the cheeses release their aromas, the fruit bursts with juice, and the Muscadet, fresh and sparkling, seals this moment of shared sweetness.

All around you, the golden light caresses the leaves, the shadows stretch, and the silence, disturbed only by the distant chirping of birds, envelops your complicity. Here, every mouthful becomes a memory, every glance a promise.

A romantic getaway to savour the art of living for two, in a setting where the Vignoble en amoureux reveals itself with simplicity and elegance. The ideal place to extend the day, hand in hand, and soak up the beauty of a suspended moment.

6. Canoe trip and gourmet break à Pont Caffino

Take time out for a canoe or kayak trip on the River Maine, between cliffs and vineyards. Paddle to the rhythm of the water, discover the wild landscapes of the vineyards and be surprised by the tranquillity of the area.

On arrival, take a break at the Guinguette de Pont Caffino. Sit on the terrace with a plate of local produce and a glass of Muscadet. Here, the atmosphere is relaxed, the view over the river soothing, and it’s the perfect time to share a convivial, gourmet interlude.

It’s a simple, authentic way for lovers to enjoy the Vignoble region in a different way.

Visit Domaine Ménard-Gaborit, around the Moulin de la Minière, to discover their Muscadetorganic wines. Since 1734, the family have been cultivating their vines with passion, sharing their expertise with you.

Taste their vintages (Sèvre et Maine, Crus Monnières-Saint Fiacre, Gorges) directly in their cellar, between barrels and bottles. It’s a simple, friendly way to talk to the winemakers and enjoy wines with character.

An ideal romantic outing to discover the vineyards together in an authentic way, over a glass of wine and genuine conversation.
