THE NANTES-BREST CANAL

Running transversally from Nantes, the city of the dukes, to Brest, the largest Breton port, the canal passes through the heart of rural Brittany.

THE BLAVET

The Blavet flows from north to south through the ancient ducal city of Pontivy, past its mediaeval fortress to the 19th century imperial city laid out on a grid pattern and briefly named Napoleonville.

From the channel port of St. Malo, once the domain of Surcouf, the privateer, head south to the Atlantic, following the river Rance to join the canal at the Chatelier lock
