Brittany

At the crossroads of L'Edre, la Vilaine and the Nantes to Brest canal, discover the charms of inland Brittany.

From Glenac and Sucé-sur-Erdre

Land of magic and mystery, rich in colours and traditions, Brittany is yours for you to discover along the canal from Nantes to Brest, historical treasures and remarkable natural sites: Josselin with its magnificent castle reflected in the water; Malestroit and its 15th-century houses; the craftsman village of Gacilly; Redon founded in 832 or Blain with its traditional popular arts museum.
The river Vilaine takes you on to Rennes, capital of Brittany, or Dinan with its 13th-century fortifications, whilst the Erdre up to Nantes provides an enchanting voyage strewn with castles.
