The Saint-Méen chapel is one of the three friary chapels in the commune, along with the Saint-Laurent and Saint-Marcellin chapels.

The castle once dominated the Vilaine River from a rocky spur, controlling a strategic river and land route. It was fortified with moats, gates and towers, and its county belonged to the powerful Rieux family.

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.

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.

Historic site commemorating the Battle of the Ballon between Nominoé and Charles the Bald in the 6th century.

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.
