Nowadays, only very few mills are still in operation in their original function, but they appear to hikers and cyclists along the river or canal as technical and historical monuments of an ancient craft tradition: Only through human ingenuity and the power of flowing water as driving energy, the heavy millstones inside were moved and so, for example, grain could be ground into flour (so-called grain mills) or oil could be pressed from fruits (e.g. olives) (so-called oil mills).

Always a good spot for a walk on the Rance!

Beautiful view of the canal. There is a path along it, but it might not be suitable for a road bike with thin tires. Great place for a picnic. A little history : Construction of the Ille-et-Rance canal began in 1804, under Napoleon I, and ended in 1832. The bulk of the work focused on the 11 Hédé-Bazouges locks which connect the two rivers. A real aquatic ladder, they allow you to overcome a 27 m difference in height. Until the beginning of the 20th century, the canal's vocation was essentially commercial between Rennes and Saint-Malo, but little by little the railways and then the road took over, announcing the decline of this economic vocation. Today, the transport of goods has given way to river tourism.

The wash house is located just opposite the body of water (unfortunately not visible in the photo). Formerly used for washing, it now serves more as a historical monument.

Ille Flottante offers unusual accommodation on the Ille-et-Rance canal: on the water in 5 boats / 5 different atmospheres, in old horse boxes or in an old rig washed up in the meadow. There are also bicycles, small boat rentals, a bar and catering on site as well as a regional products shop for a gourmet break.

The oldest remains of the parish church of Sainte-Justine de Gévezé date from the 12th century, notably a bay in the south wall of the nave. The Sainte-Justine Church was rebuilt in the 15th and 16th centuries, of which it retains some elements of its framework, or even gargoyles and crossettes with fantastic animal shapes. A tower had been built between 1614 and 1628. This one threatening to fall into ruins was rebuilt in the middle of the 19th century, in a different place: the bottom of the nave. The plans and specifications for this new porch bell tower were drawn up by Jacques Mellet who took delivery of the work in 1858. (wiki-rennes.fr)
