Departure from Fégréac (Loire-Atlantique)
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.
