took inspiration from the vibrant colours of this landscape. A celtic land of myth
and legend - Breton festivals of folklore, music and dance will captivate you.

the clear blue seas of the Bay of Biscay and the great River Loire.

Places of Special Interest:
Dinan and 14th Century Josselin - medieval towns and chateaux Nantes and
La Roche Bernard - old seaports.

Canal d'Ille et Rance      We did this route in 2000
One way cruise           and found the last three days
127 Km 57 locks           just beautiful but the first 3 days
30 h of cruising         from Dinan were a bore. Do out &back
CRUISING HINTS: From our base at Messac we offer a one way cruise on the Vilaine
and the canal de l'Ille et Rance towards Dinan. We especially recommend the cruise
towards Malestroit and Josselin on the Canal de Nantes à Brest.
