    This path which runs along the banks of the Vilaine was built in the 18th century. At the time, it allowed barges to be pulled, most often by horses. It now allows you to cycle or walk in complete peace of mind!

      A "treidelpfad" (towpath) that runs alongside the river or canal's bed was an essential part of the transport infrastructure in earlier times. Before ships could be powered by motors, horses walked along the bank, pulling the boat against the current. This was called "treideln" (towing), and this is how the towpaths got their name, which has been passed down to this day. Where these paths, located directly along the bank, have been preserved, they are popular with hikers and cyclists.
