You can probably figure this out, but combining the camping in St Lery (another Highlight added nearby) with the dining possibilities of Mauron would make this a great overnight place for a camping trip.

When I rolled through here at 11:30 on a Wednesday, 2 things became apparent: 1) Mauron is a beautiful little town/large village, oozing cool, clean charm. 2) Unlike some other places, there are numerous refreshment possibilities all grouped around a small square near the church. In no particular order, I spotted a small cafe (or possibly bar), a place selling Galettes á emporter, a boulangjerie-pattiserie, a boucherie offering plats cuisinés and a slightly forlorn looking van selling pizza. The boulangerie was obviously popular, with a queue coming out the door, so I joined it, and availed of the formula sandwich, with a baguette stuffed with jambon-fromage, a religeuse caramel and a bonus cannette of Orangina. while I devoured those for the next 15 - 20 minutes, the crowds kept coming - In the short period I spent in Mauron (|30 minutes), maybe 40+ people came and went from the shop. Most carried out various configurations of pains, some with sandwiches and/or viennoiseries as well.

Just a nice old abandoned trainline

Tirains run fairly often (about every hour on an ordinary Weds mid-afternoon when I was there). You can get to Rennes in one direction and Lamballe (? - check ?) in the other. From Rennes you can get to lots of other places, and I used this method to quickly move from inland to coastal Brittany. Using the machine, it is easy to buy a through ticket and provided you stay on TER trains, you can bring a bike without reservation (but subject to space/train manager's say so on busy times). I didn't see a lot of commerces in the vicinity of the station, but likely one could find stuff if one was in need -- looks like centre-ville is about 1 K level ride away.

The Papegault tower, from the end of the 14th century, is the best preserved and most representative element of the ancient medieval town of Montfort-sur-Meu.

Nice bike friendly restaurant.

The car park has been expanded recently and now has quite a few spaces (~40 spaces?).
