If you navigate on the Nantes-Brest Canal, between Redon and Nantes, your cruise will be punctuated by the passage of about 18 electric locks. All of them are manoeuvred by lock-keepers, so you can make the most of the time to meet people and enjoy the show. Please note that the locks on the canal remain open on public holidays.
There are two bases to start your licence-free boat cruise in this area: Redon and Sucé-Sur-Erdre. Before leaving the port, you will receive a short 1 hour training to introduce you to the river code and to familiarise you with the operation of the controls and manoeuvres of your licence-free boat. It is important to know that the departures are only in the afternoon, the mornings are dedicated to the return of the cruise.
- Ideal for families with swimming area and water activities
- A beautiful collection of castles
- A true culinary journey
The locks are electric and manned by lock keepers. They are always open.
In Britanny, river cruises are mainly done on canals (except between Redon and Rennes). Easy on the whole, little current, few dangers - this region is perfectly suited for a first river cruise experience.
Please be advised: following maintenance work, navigation is interrupted on the Vilaine river at the Moulin de Boël, between Messac and Rennes. You will therefore not be able to cruise to Rennes for the entire 2024 season.
Whether on the Nantes-Brest Canal or on the Vilaine River, mooring is only permitted in designated places and not along the banks.
