nice little walk

Apparently, they're in the process of repairing/restoring the locks. The water level was lowered for this purpose. This was the case in June 2024 - @Lydie attached a picture showing that the water level is back to normal. This means that the work on the locks that were repaired is now complete.

Finistere is heavily forested and a bit more pristine. We enjoy that. Here a "château" peeks out of the forest. That is the Domaine de Trévarez, which is still quite a distance away - it is only thanks to the telephoto lens that we can get so close.

good ride for riding

Interesting to look at a lock like this even though many are no longer in operation

Nice to ride on the cycle paths along the canal. Very quiet and beautiful.

Built on the hillside on the north-west face of a mound which was a fortified point from the 10th century, the Notre-Dame chapel dominates the channeled course of the Aulne by 35 m. Its oldest parts date back to the beginning of the 13th century. At the time, it was the parish church of a small village established on a nearby hillock of which the place called “Le Vieux-Bourg” remains. The structure of the chapel will evolve over the next 5 centuries according to the different styles of the moment. But despite all these changes, a certain unity emerges which makes this church a small masterpiece of Breton architecture. The church, the triumphal arch, the cross and the ossuary are classified historic monuments.

Like the many locks on the Nantes-Brest canal, the Saint-Algon lock has long allowed boats to transport goods from one city to another. Today, the lock house is only the breath of a memory of this river period.
