Passage above the Vilaine after the SNCF stop. Starting point of a beautiful hill to go up to Laillé, or access to the towpath to go to Le Boël.

Boël Mill

Highlight • Monument

Le Boël is one of the emblematic sites of the Vilaine valley.

Essential place for walks or bike rides (mountain biking, road or gravel, there is something for everyone) and even kayaking or canoeing, stopover on the towpath from Rennes to Redon with its picnic tables . The heights offer a very pretty panorama, as far as Rennes in good weather.

The passage of the lock for the boats is always a spectacle for the little ones but also for the older ones.

There is also a magnificent 12th century watermill.
To have fun, you can have lunch in a very good restaurant, the Marin Boël, and recently in a creperie.

Surprising drawbridge allowing the crossing of the Cicé lock.
This allows you to reach Chavagne from the Vilaine towpath (and vice versa).
Note that this part of the Vilaine is in fact an artificial canal (which explains the straightness of this portion from Champcors).

Le Moulin de Champcors

Highlight • Monument

The Champcors mill is a thousand-year-old water mill in Vilaine and the commune of Bruz producing flour from wheat mainly from Maine-et-Loire for bakers from Ille-et-Vilaine wanting flour made from traditional way and without the addition of chemicals.

Having belonged to the Champion de Cicé family, one of whose representatives gave his name to one of the streets in Rennes, it has been run since 1953 by the Pivan family.

In 2012, Emmanuel Pivan produced, after his father and grandfather, 700 tonnes of flour per year, according to him, less than a fifth of the production of a large flour mill.
