Canal de Cicé

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.

Guipry-Messac Mill

Highlight • Restaurant

This former watermill, documented as early as 1089, was initially used as a fulling mill before being converted into a flour mill in the 19th century. Its operation ceased on December 31, 1974. Since then, the building has stood as a significant heritage landmark, marking the industrial and riverine history of the Vilaine Valley.

Towpath along the Vilaine

Highlight • Other

This path which runs along the banks of the Vilaine was built in the 18th century. At the time, it allowed barges to be pulled, most often by horses. It now allows you to cycle or walk in complete peace of mind!

A day on the banks of the Vilaine. Very easy to drive, beautiful and varied landscapes. Without the constant headwind, the route would have flown by.
