Le Belvédère de la Pierre Percée, a tourist and cycle stop on the banks of the Loire, ideally positioned on the famous "La Loire à Vélo" cycle route, offering panoramic views of the Loire and the Levée de la Divatte.
This belvedere marks the "gateway to the Loire" for the region. Its original architecture blends into the landscape, offering a panoramic view of the Loire and the Levée de la Divatte dyke.
The belvedere is an original architectural structure with a tall silhouette made of steel and wood, evoking the local history and agricultural landscapes along the Loire. Through this belvedere, Tact Architectes and Tangui Robert, the architects, wanted to trigger a new imagination based on the history of the site, particularly in terms of the shapes: reminiscent of market garden greenhouses (light steel structures, rounded and continuous roofs, transparency effect) but also of toues, those fishing boats, and in terms of the materials: wicker or chestnut traps, wickerwork.
The site has been awarded the "main stopping place" label on the "La Loire à Vélo" itinerary. It offers a number of free services for cyclists and visitors:
- bicycle parking
- inflation pump,
- picnic area with large tables,
- accessible sanitary facilities,
- secure lockers with power sockets (for recharging batteries and telephones),
- 24-hour access.
Guided tours for individuals and groups offered by the Tourist Office: 02 40 54 02 95
