Lock number 10. Very friendly welcome at the lock house, which offers drinks, ice creams, etc. And the terrace under the trees is really nice.

View of the Isac dam and the Nantes-Brest canal from Bout du Bois

Highlight • Viewpoint

This passage runs along several hundred meters of the dike which separates the Isac river from the Nantes-Brest canal. Always nice to see two rivers side by side.
The surroundings are very quiet and with shade if necessary.

Lock 11 — La Prée

Highlight • Structure

A lock among others? No, because here you can have your bike repaired! This repair workshop is ideal because it is located along the Vélodyssée.
