From Castles to the Cider House

After cruising through the Mecca of biodiversity, stop at this lock for a walk or a picnic surrounded by nature.

A peaceful river stop offering a lake, swimming, fishing, and a picnic area.

From the port, walk to the Château de la Groulais (built in 1108), where you’ll find a gourmet restaurant and medieval events in summer. Hiking trails also start nearby.

Stop by the Kerisac Cider House, swim in the pool with water slides, or enjoy mini-golf next to the mooring. Nearby: a restaurant and a crêperie.

At the junction of the Nantes-Brest Canal and the Vilaine River, Redon’s port invites a stopover. Visit the Boating Museum, the abbey church, and the Calvairiennes monastery.

This major stop on your Brittany cruise charms with its old port, maritime museum, and Beekeepers’ House. The old quarters host numerous art studios. Time to turn around: your boat heads back along the Vilaine to Nantes, then onto the Nantes–Brest Canal and the Erdre, returning your péniche at Sucé‑sur‑Erdre.
