La Gacilly
Stronghold of the Yves Rocher cosmetics empire, this small village is certainly of interest. More than twenty five craftspeople display their works of art to you in the pedestrian streets; the small port is very inviting for your boat (be aware that the number of places is limited), with all of the amenities you might require (electricity, water).

At the intersection of the Breton waterways (the Nantes to Brest Canal and the Vilaine river), Redon was once above all a commercial port. This port has the distinction of welcoming both river and naval boats due to its location: 3.5 hours from the ocean and accessible by sailing boat without having to remove the mast.
