LE PARC DE LA CHANTRERIE

Une ferme dans un parc champêtre

Domaine agricole des chantres (chorale de la Cathédrale de Nantes) avant la Révolution, le parc devient bien national en 1792 puis est cédé à des particuliers. Il conserve aujourd’hui son dessin paysager du XIXe réalisé par Dominique Noisette, à la demande de Louis Auguste Levesque, propriétaire de l’époque. Bosquets d’arbres, grandes perspectives et allées courbes

soulignent le majestueux paysage de l’Erdre. On y découvre de nombreux arbres remarquables: châtaignier, séquoia géant ou hêtre pourpre.
Le château, construit en 1825 puis agrandi dans les années 1860, abrite aujourd’hui le siège d’Atlanpole, technopole nantaise.
tout au long de l’année, la ferme d’éveil accueille des scolaires pour une découverte des animaux, du potager ou encore des abeilles du rucher. Une ferme également ouverte au grand public quelques dimanches par an aux beaux jours.
18 hectares, une vue imprenable sur l’Erdre et le chateau de la Gascherie, le plus connu des châteaux de l’Erdre. La Chantrerie, c’est le privilège des grands espaces tout près de la ville!

THE PARK OF THE CHANTRERIE

A farm in a rural park

Agricultural domain of the chantres (choir of the Cathedral of Nantes) before the Revolution, the park became national property in 1792 and was then transferred to individuals. Today, it retains its 19th century landscape design by Dominique Noisette, at the request of Louis Auguste Levesque, owner at the time. Groves of trees, large perspectives and curved paths

highlight the majestic landscape of the Erdre. There are many remarkable trees: chestnut, giant sequoia or purple beech.
The castle, built in 1825 and then extended in the 1860s, now houses the headquarters of Atlanpole, a Nantes technology park.
throughout the year, the awakening farm welcomes schoolchildren to discover the animals, the vegetable garden or the bees in the apiary. A farm also open to the general public a few Sundays a year in fine weather.
18 hectares, a breathtaking view of the Erdre and the Chateau de la Gascherie, the most famous of the Erdre castles. La Chantrerie is the privilege of wide open spaces very close to the city!
