The Erdre (French pronunciation: [ɛʁdʁ]; Breton: Erzh) is a 97.4 km (60.5 mi) long river in western France, right tributary to the Loire.
Other towns on the Erdre, going downstream, are Candé, Riaillé, Nort-sur-Erdre and Sucé-sur-Erdre.
South of Nort-sur-Erdre, the river flows through reclaimed marshland, and is up to a kilometer wide at the Plaine de Mazerolles near Sucé-sur-Erdre.
At the Plaine de la Poupiniere, the Nantes-Brest canal joins the Erdre.
Its former course is a main road and shopping area, the Cours des Cinquante Otages [fr].
