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.

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.

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.
