About

At the Mazerolles water sports centre, Sucé-sur-Erdre offers walkers and cyclists a very practical answer: six free tent pitches near the Vélodyssée and La Régalante. Capacity is limited to twenty people, for a stopover rather than a longer stay. The showers and toilets of the water sports centre, bike racks, picnic tables and a repair station give rare independence for a free stopover. Registration is done with the QR code on site. No vehicles may be parked on the pitches. The town created this bivouac to offer a night’s stopover between Nantes and Nort-sur-Erdre, rather than let wild camps spread along the banks of the Erdre. The facilities are deliberately light: a few marked places, existing services and a protected natural setting. The site takes a maximum of twenty people on only six pitches. It is meant for light tents, not large awnings, caravans or vans, and suits solo cyclists, pairs and small groups who have planned their arrival. The stopover is free. The only procedure is to register online with the QR code displayed on the signs; this is not a guaranteed booking, as space is limited. Five bike racks, a repair and pump station and picnic tables make recovering after a day’s ride easier. The stopover holds the Accueil Vélo label. The Mazerolles plains and the banks of the Erdre are a sensitive natural environment. Use only the marked pitches, light no fires and take all your rubbish with you. The pitches are reserved for walkers and cyclists with tents. Vehicles are not allowed on the area, so motorhome travellers need to find a suitable site elsewhere. In 2026, the town announced opening from 1 April to 30 September.
