Saint Philbert is a land of vineyards. Vines have been grown there since the 14th century. It is a major "terroir" for PDO wines such as Muscadet Côtes de Grandlieu and Gros Plant.
This vineyard landscape adjoins the bocage landscape and the sunken paths found on the numerous hiking trails of Saint Philbert. The river Boulogne and the Grandlieu lake, which one can see from the heights, punctuate the natural and architectural scenery of the town.
The Boulogne river and the Lac de Grand Lieu, are the soul of Saint Philbert de Grand Lieu. Between the canal and the river, the Ile de la Boulogne and its 5-hectare body of water offer an ideal setting for your sports and leisure activities in the heart of the city.
The abbey church was built in the 9th century in order to protect Saint Philibert's relics from the Vikings assaults. It is a rare remnant of the carolingian period and is the oldest monument in Loire-Atlantique.
