Departure from Drefféac (Loire-Atlantique)
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.
