4x4 Off-Road Driving in Nantes: Private Estate Adventure

Take the wheel on terrain built for 4x4s

A 2-hour off-road driving activity on a private estate near Nantes where you pilot a Mitsubishi Pajero across hills, slopes, marshes and technical tracks with an instructor guiding you remotely. The estate spans kilometers of terrain designed for both beginners and experienced drivers, with changing rooms and showers on-site afterward.

The experience

You arrive at a modern clubhouse overlooking the estate's lakes, check in, and move to the 4x4 staging area where an instructor meets you. After a complete briefing and vehicle familiarization, you get behind the wheel of a Mitsubishi Pajero 2.8L equipped with off-road tires and raised suspension. For the next two hours, you navigate the estate's network of tracks and technical terrain (climbs, descents, slopes, marshes and swamps), while your operator guides you remotely throughout the drive. The estate has been running this activity since 2005 and maintains a fleet of 12 vehicles, so the terrain is built and maintained specifically for this.

The challenge scales to your experience. Beginners and experienced drivers both find sections suited to their comfort level across the vast domain. You're not watching someone else drive. You're controlling the vehicle through every obstacle. After the drive ends, you can shower and change in the on-site facilities before heading to the panoramic terrace to decompress.

What’s included

• A complete briefing and vehicle familiarization.
• 2-hour guided off-road drive in a Mitsubishi Pajero across the estate's terrain.
• remote instructor guidance throughout.
• access to changing rooms, lockers and showers after the activity.
