Sequence of nine locks, seven of which are very close to each other. Boat traffic must have been very slow on this section…

One of the many locks on the canal near the village of Pléalauff. Just after, the bridge allowing you to cross the canal and reach the wash house. All on the Vélodyssée route.

Path between two bodies of water on the Nantes-Brest Canal

Highlight • Trail

A stretch on the dam before the Trehu Moron dam.
The landscape is constantly changing. The canal meanders through the countryside here.
I love this landscape, and it's a good mood to drive here.

Bon-Repos Abbey

Highlight • Other

Former abbey now in ruins. Interesting place, in the immediate vicinity of the canal, but plan to cross if you want to approach the abbey because it is located on the opposite bank to the Vélodyssée track.
