Malestroit Lock

Highlight • Structure

Taking the shortest of the branches of the Oust River across the plain opening up at the North end of town, the canal here needs another set of locks. The camping car parking and possibly camping option is across the bridge to the right of the beautifully restored stone masonry lock attendant building. The side of the canal is used to park a range of recreational canal boats.

Château de Josselin seen from the Sainte-Croix bridge

Highlight • Castle

Erected at the beginning of the 11th century, the Château de Josselin was once just a simple wooden building. Rebuilt and extended over the centuries, it was modernized by the Rohan family who still live there today.

The castle can be visited and also houses a museum of dolls and toys.

Josselin Castle

Highlight • Religious Site

The castle's imposing towers are reflected in the River Oust. Owned by the Rohan family, one of the oldest families in Brittany, it is the symbol of this pretty town. Plan half a day to stroll through the charming streets of this "petite cité de caractère" (small, particularly picturesque town) and also visit the basilica.

Historic centre of Malestroit

Highlight • Historical Site

Thanks to its half-timbered houses, its stone facades and its sculptures, Malestroit is labeled “city of character”.

A thousand-year-old village, Malestroit still houses houses from the 15th and 16th centuries as well as locks, mills and churches full of stories.

Canal de Nantes à Brest

Highlight • Other

The Nantes-Brest Canal, at Redon, offers a peaceful stroll along its green banks. This river crossroads, where the Vilaine and the canal meet, is ideal for cycling enthusiasts. The tree-lined towpaths allow you to enjoy the calm of nature while admiring the boats passing by.
