Infrastructure
In the early 2000s, the planning of a new (regional) airport under the name Aéroport du Grand Ouest , which was to replace Nantes airport , began.
The affected residents of Notre-Dame-des-Landes protested with great determination against the airport construction in their municipality. They wanted to prevent the landscape from being destroyed and fertile land from being sealed off.
In mid-January 2018, the French government announced that it would finally abandon the project.
