Remarkable entrance to the village

through the countryside, always nice to find the canal again

A lock keeper and his dream of a little paradise...

It's hard to see this mill. It's overgrown with vegetation, making it almost invisible. It's a shame it's not more prominently displayed.

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.

... and we almost drove past. The medieval town is worth visiting twice! The buildings have great architecture and there are plenty of restaurants.

The Nantes-Brest Canal, at Redon, offers a peaceful stroll along its green banks. This river crossroads, where the Vilaine and the canal meet, is ideal for cycling enthusiasts. The tree-lined towpaths allow you to enjoy the calm of nature while admiring the boats passing by.

It's really worth visiting! Beautifully renovated and maintained houses from the 15th and 16th century create an amazing atmosphere of a truly historic village. True wonders of ancient architecture.
