Brittany : GLENAC

Land of magic and mystery, rich in colours and traditions, Brittany is yours for you to discover along the canal from Nantes to Brest, historical treasures and remarkable natural sites.On the Nantes to Brest canal, you can visit Josselin, with its magnificient castle reflected in the water, Malestroit and its 15th century houses , the craftsman village of Gacilly. In the opposite direction, the river Vilaine takes you on Rennes, capital of Brittany, or Dinan (13th century fortifications) whilst the Erdre up to Nantes provides an enchanting cruise strewn with castles.
