セベラックのおすすめツーリングルート

In 832, Conuvoion, a Breton monk, founded the Abbey of Saint-Sauveur in Redon with the support of the Carolingian Emperor Louis the Pious. A small rural community slowly grew up around the abbey. During the Middle Ages, the town benefited from its location on the Vilaine River, as trade goods could be transported upstream to Redon on ocean-going vessels. There, the goods were transshipped and transported further on inland waterway barges towards Rennes, the capital of Brittany. In the 19th century, Redon experienced another period of prosperity with the construction of the Nantes-Brest Canal. Even today, the old shipowners' houses and the large harbor basin bear witness to its history as a trading port.

These numerous locks break the monotony that can sometimes set in during a long outing.

Very rolling, lots of dust on the panniers :)

Stunning structure along the Nantes-Brest Canal. Can be used as a bikepacking shelter. Shops nearby.

Very beautiful circuit starting from Missillac in the direction of Vilaine, passing successively through Thehillac, Etang Aumée, Avessac and Redon on secondary roads where there is very little traffic.

Redon has managed to retain its quiet, small-town character, despite its intense activity (and traffic). Following the floods of 2024, the campsite is closed. The pedestrian street is pleasant and not overcrowded with shops. Just what you need. A visit to the port is also a pleasant experience.

through the countryside, always nice to find the canal again

This modern oratory symbolically replaced a large chapel, unfortunately destroyed during the Battle of Saint-Nazaire, which was on the other bank, on the Guenrouet side, occupied by the Germans. It is a very pleasant section of the Nantes-Brest Canal, much wilder due to its vegetation and the meandering river.
