The Canal and Étang Aumée in Fégréac
The landscape around Fégréac is characterised by three small valleys overlooked by the village. The first is home to the River Isac and the canal linking Nantes to Brest; the second is home to the Dréneuc stream and the marshes bordering it; and the third has been transformed into a large pond which once supplied the Aumée Mill. All converge on the River Vilaine, which can be seen at the Bellion lock. After passing through all these water-dominated spots, you return to the starting point by following the canal.

A walk around Saint-Jean-la-Poterie along the banks of the Oust.
Around the Roho Mill and the Saint-Dolay marshes
Saint-Dolay features the typical landscapes of the region, though with a notable abundance of water and mills.This runoff and surface water has created marshes and ponds around the Moulin de Roho.This circular route is part ofthe PR®® known as the Boucle du Marais de Roho.
Roho moors and marshes
The village of Saint-Dolay overlooks the plateau that borders the south bank of the Vilaine. This flat landscape is cut by a valley with sometimes steep slopes, where the Moulin Neuf stream flows. While moors cover the slopes and heights of the valley, marshes and peat bogs cover the bottom. Add to this variety of vegetation a remarkable geological diversity, and you will have many reasons to explore this route.

Cycling loop between Guenrouët and the Bellion lock
The Isac Valley connects Guenrouët to the Vilaine. Small country roads and wide carriageways, then the towpath of the Nantes-Brest Canal, lead to the Bellion Lock, a nautical stop at the confluence of the canal and the Vilaine. The return journey is the same, via other equally pleasant routes. A bucolic atmosphere is guaranteed on this ride on the edge of the Pays de Redon.

The Gannedel and Massérac Marshes
Upstream from Redon, the Vilaine valley stretches out between the hillsides that flank it to the north and south. Vast expanses of wild or cultivated marshland follow one another, through the midst of which the river flows.
Cycling along the small roads that wind around these marshes is a refreshing way to explore the area and its villages, away from the main roads.
The tour of Île aux Pies, starting from La Potinais
To cross the geological fold that extends the Landes de Lanvaux, the Oust has carved its way through the rocky plateau to wind its way through the Île aux Pies gorge. Upstream, at the confluence of the Oust and the Aff, the alluvial plain is sometimes dry, sometimes covered in water. You need to choose the right time to set off. Early spring seems to be the best season to fully enjoy the landscapes you pass through... without getting your feet wet.
The Vilaine hills via Saint-Cry and Sainte-Anne
The Bovenant hill is one of the hills overlooking the Vilaine marshes, between Saint-Dolay and Béganne. A stone’s throw away, the villages of Saint-Cry and Sainte-Anne are two small settlements where life revolves around their respective chapels. Further north, Ruelmin is practically right on the water’s edge. The suggested route connects these different places through a rolling landscape that alternates between farmland and woodland, with water running as a common thread throughout.

The Brivet between Branduca and Coisnongle
At Pontchâteau, the Brivet flows into a gorge in the Sillon de Bretagne before heading off towards the Brière marshes. But upstream of this gorge, it meanders through the marshes that fill the basin between Dréfféac and Sainte-Anne-sur-Brivet. The suggested route takes you along this very tranquil river, through beautiful wooded countryside, before following its course as closely as possible. And you might even be lucky enough to spot the storks that nest here.
