Sucé-sur-Erdre

A peaceful little town in the Erdre Valley, Sucé-sur-Erdre is the perfect starting point for your river cruise, allowing you to discover by boat the 17 châteaux nicknamed the “Nantes Follies.” These elegant residences were built by wealthy Nantes merchants during the dark period of the transatlantic slave trade. Today, they are privately owned and admired by many boaters,whether in canoes, stand-up paddleboards, small sailboats, license-free riverboats, or on cruise boats offering onboard meals.

Quiheix

Your boat cruise on the Erdre takes you through the heart of a Natura 2000 zone. Stop to explore its biodiversity.

Blain

A town of around 8,000 residents with all shops and services. The marina is located right next to the Château de la Groulais (dating back to 1108), which features a restaurant and hosts medieval events in summer. Several walking trails start from the port.

Guenrouët

Kids will love the swimming pool with slides and mini-golf, while adults can explore Kerisac Cider House (boutique, tasting room, and video about traditional Breton cider-making).

Pont-Miny

A calm and welcoming stop with a picnic area and BBQ spot, close to the “Canal House” gîte.

Redon

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.

Glénac

A peaceful little village with a charming marina located in a marshy zone, rich in wildlife. Birdwatching enthusiasts,don’t forget your binoculars! This final stop marks the end of your river cruise in Brittany.
