The Ille-et-Rance Canal, which connects Rennes and Saint-Malo, is the oldest canal in Brittany. It is made up of three sections, including the one at this location. The canal is then made up of the bed of the Ille.

Nice tour overall, note that a mountain bike trail is included after 8 km, on a small portion of course, but the surprise is spicy for beginners. Leave with very good brakes haha or just turn around and continue along the canal, as planned :)
