Abbaretz lagoon

Highlight • Other

A half-Mordor, half-Mad Max atmosphere with these reddish-orange marshes. The color is due to the oxidation of heavy metals contained in these highly acidic waters: iron, manganese, cobalt, and... arsenic. It's actually due to severe arsenic pollution that access to the second spoil heap has been prohibited since 2019.
You can tour the site by bike, but it's clearly mountain biking/gravel riding (walkways, roots, rocks, etc.).

A truly amazing site. Bring a lock, as you have to leave your bike at the bottom of the steps.

This passage runs along several hundred meters of the dike which separates the Isac river from the Nantes-Brest canal. Always nice to see two rivers side by side.
The surroundings are very quiet and with shade if necessary.

Lock number 10. Very friendly welcome at the lock house, which offers drinks, ice creams, etc. And the terrace under the trees is really nice.

Lock 11 — La Prée

Highlight • Structure

A lock among others? No, because here you can have your bike repaired! This repair workshop is ideal because it is located along the Vélodyssée.

Le Monkey Bike Bar

Highlight • Pub

The Monkey Bike Bar is a must-see place (Bar) on the Nantes-Brest canal! ideally located on the port of Blain with a terrace to quench your thirst with a nice view! Plus there is a bike shop behind the bar (Cycles riflet). Don’t hesitate to stop by!
schedules available on Google and social networks, depending on the seasons.
