Small church with remarkable interior decoration. Can be visited off-season by asking for the key at the town hall next door.

A wide variety of goods were available from a food truck. Unfortunately, the coffee, which had been kept warm, wasn't very good. But the homemade cakes were delicious.

This greenway follows a tiny watercourse called the Hilvern Channel. When it comes to tranquility, it's hard to find better! 61.6 kilometers long and particularly tortuous, its two ends are only 21 kilometers apart as the crow flies.

This village, although located in Côte d'Armor, is close to the Gallo country and the Rohan country. The Hivern channel which winds through the town helps to give it a certain charm.

The Forêt lock is one of the many locks that balance the waters on the Nantes-Brest canal. It is named after the forest of Branguily forest which extends, at this location, on both sides of the canal.
