Tourism in Brittany: The Nantes to Brest Canal
The construction of the Nantes-Brest Canal dates back to the first half of the 19th century. 364 km long, it will make you travel through relaxing and atypical landscapes. It is interrupted by the dam of Guerlédan which thus creates the largest lake of Brittany « Lake Guerledan » .
This canal winds through various landscapes, including green valleys, dense forests and picturesque villages. It has 238 locks, each offering an overview of the rich Breton river heritage. The main cities along the canal include Nantes, Redon, Josselin, Pontivy, and Carhaix-Plouguer.
The walk on this channel makes it possible to regain the sense of contact, simplicity and conviviality. Stop at the terrace of a coffee shop in an lockhouse. Take a refreshment or make a stop to sleep.
Today, the canal is popular for leisure activities such as boating, cycling and hiking. Visitors can discover historical castles, churches and museums. All this while enjoying the tranquility and natural beauty of the canal banks.
Far from cars and far from noise, travel a secure route while listening to the song of birds. Real relaxing holidays!
