고대 로마 도로로 여겨지는 이 매우 볼록한 모양의 포장 도로는 갈로-로만 시대 이전의 것일 수 있습니다. 19세기 학자들은 이 도로가 남네테스족의 수도였던 낭트와 코리오솔리테스족의 수도였던 코르쇠를 연결하는 도로라고 보았습니다. 중세 시대에도 사용되었으며 베슬레 여울 근처의 습지를 통행할 수 있게 했습니다. 안타깝게도 이 도로는 특히 계절에 따라 식물에 뒤덮여 충분히 가치를 인정받지 못하고 있습니다.

전설에 따르면, 저녁 예배에 가는 대신 황야에서 춤을 춘 소녀들이 돌로 변했다고 합니다. 이 전설은 당시 브르타뉴 지방에 많았던 이교주의에 맞서기 위해 17세기에 교회가 만들어낸 것입니다.

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.

The cycle path along the Vilaine is truly a MUST! It runs directly along the river and has many locks. At each of the locks, there are beautifully maintained guardhouses, some of which are even kitsch. The cycle path doesn't stray more than 10 meters from the river and has a very well-maintained surface. I had the pleasure of following it for over 40 kilometers.

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.

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.
