Le Pellerin

Le Pellerin lines the south bank of the Loire in Pays de la Loire, and its position on the tidal river has long connected it with traffic between Nantes and the Atlantic. The Bac de Loire ferry links the commune with Couëron on the opposite bank, preserving a traditional river crossing. At Le Pellerin, the Canal de la Martinière meets the Loire; opened in 1892, it was built as a navigational bypass for ships approaching Nantes. The canal and riverbanks recall the working-waterway history of the Loire estuary, while the town is also part of the Nantes metropolitan area.
