In the Pontivy court building we found a café with lots of delicious patisserie and other regional specialties. A great surprise in a town that is pretty deserted on Sundays.

This small village of barely 2,000 inhabitants neighbors the town of Pontivy. You find very beautiful chapels and churches within this town.

This beautiful water town, famous for its Château des Rohans, is located in Argoat. That is to say in the very center of the Breton peninsula. It is a city which has preserved the Napoleonic memory of the great works carried out during the reign of the emperor. The Blavet is experiencing spectacular floods here which have left their mark on the inhabitants. The most recent ones date from January 1995 and February 2014.

Here, the Blavet meets the Nantes-Brest canal. It was Napoleon Bonaparte, then first consul, who decided on September 17, 1802 to channel the Blavet from Pontivy to Lorient. The project was titanic and lasted more than 30 years.

There are 28 locks which allow navigation between Pontivy and Hennebont. These structures, built in the 19th century, are still very important to the many pleasure boats that sail here. The lock keeper moves from one lock to another to allow boats to continue their journey in the Blavet valley.

To corn er lann. Closed private passage. We had to turn around. Pity

Just before arriving in Pontivy the river Blavet crashes down a wide cascade, while the canal is channelled left through a lock. Pedestrians and bikers can cross the narrow metal walkway across the barrage and the locks to shortcut to the other side.
