About the harbour
Automatically summarised text: Automatically summarisedvia web search · 29 September 2026Base nautique de la Grimaudière is a sailing club facility run by the ANCRE club, located on the Erdre river in La Chapelle-sur-Erdre, just north of Nantes. Founded in 1965, the club has since built up a small harbor with pontoons, a technical facility, and boat hangars where the river widens into a lake.
On site you'll find a slipway for launching smaller boats, along with hangars and a technical facility for the club's equipment. The clubhouse has a terrace where you can relax after a sail, and the base offers a sailing school for all ages, boat rentals for cruises on the river, and regattas along with activities adapted for people with disabilities. Volunteers welcome visitors on Saturday afternoons, when you can learn more about the club's activities.
Right next to the base runs a 2.5 km walking trail along the green banks of the Erdre, accessible to people with reduced mobility, with picnic areas along the way. From the trail you can view Château de la Gascherie and Manoir de la Gandonnière. A little further south lie the Nantes football club's training complex, a rowing base, and tennis courts.
Stop by on a Saturday afternoon and discover the sailing club's welcoming atmosphere on the Erdre.
