A pretty little peaceful port on the banks of the Rance. The road, however, is certainly less peaceful in season 😅.

The Chapelle du Verger is a neo-Gothic pilgrimage chapel built in 1869 under the direction of Canon Brune. It stands on the site of a former sanctuary and is particularly venerated by fishermen and their families. The chapel is known for its numerous votive offerings. The stained-glass windows, created between 1910 and 1913 by Charles Lorin, a stained-glass artist from Chartres, are particularly noteworthy. The chapel is located on an elevated site and offers impressive views of the Plage du Verger. It is open daily from 8:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. and also serves as a site for religious ceremonies, particularly during the summer months.

The abbey church and cloister are definitely worth a visit.

Plage du Saussaye, located in Cancale, Ille-et-Vilaine, Brittany, is a quiet and secluded beach often praised for its natural beauty and tranquility. This sandy cove is nestled between cliffs near the Moulière Point and is considered one of the most picturesque coves in Ille-et-Vilaine. The beach's location northwest of Cancale's town center, along the GR 34 hiking trail, makes it a peaceful retreat away from the bustling crowds of the town. The beach's natural features are one of its main attractions. It boasts a pristine stretch of sand and minimal plastic debris, indicating a well-preserved environment. The coastline is rocky, and at low tide, tide pools can be seen, further enhancing the beach's charm. The surrounding greenery enhances the beach's aesthetic appeal. A unique feature of Plage du Saussaye is the presence of small ocean pools that serve as mini-ecosystems among the rocks along the sides of the beach. These pools add to the beach's appeal, but visitors should exercise caution when exploring during tides. The beach is also known for wildlife viewing, with bottlenose dolphins frequently spotted, which enhances the overall visitor experience. Access to the beach is via a steep path from the parking lot.

one of the tide mills on the Rance, worth the detour

Going back up towards St-Malo, a pretty path to the left (Rance valley) allows you to partly avoid the D117.

To protect the environment, some coastal paths are now closed to mounted bicycles. It is still possible to use them by pushing a bicycle.

Please note that this road has been closed again since the last storm on December 22, 2024, and the erosion of the coastline is leading to more frequent closures. The possibility of a permanent closure to traffic is even under consideration.
