Just a nice old abandoned trainline

Tirains run fairly often (about every hour on an ordinary Weds mid-afternoon when I was there). You can get to Rennes in one direction and Lamballe (? - check ?) in the other. From Rennes you can get to lots of other places, and I used this method to quickly move from inland to coastal Brittany. Using the machine, it is easy to buy a through ticket and provided you stay on TER trains, you can bring a bike without reservation (but subject to space/train manager's say so on busy times). I didn't see a lot of commerces in the vicinity of the station, but likely one could find stuff if one was in need -- looks like centre-ville is about 1 K level ride away.

Nice piece of water. The tour is well equipped for hiking but only authorized in spring and summer. (From April 1st)

Hiking around the Étang de l'Abbaye de Paimpont allows you to discover the tranquility of this serene lake in the heart of the Paimpont forest. As you walk, you will enjoy the lush greenery and century-old trees that surround you, creating a peaceful atmosphere. The highlight of your hike is the abbey located near the shore, which adds a historical touch to the beauty of nature. Enjoy the calm of the lake and keep your eyes open for local wildlife as you explore the area, while soaking up the legend of the Brocéliande forest that surrounds you.
