Canal Nante à Brest - Nantes

SELF DRIVE RIVER BOAT RENTALS FROM Sucé/Erdre


 

With its shops and its fully equipped port, Sucé sur Erdre is a very welcoming base. It is the starting point for one-way river cruises on the Nantes-Brest Canal to Glénac.

The locks are electric and manned by lock keepers. They are always open.

In Britanny, river cruises are mainly done on canals (except between Redon and Rennes). Easy on the whole, little current, few dangers - this region is perfectly suited for a first river cruise experience. 
In 2024 and 2025: following long maintenance work, navigation will be interrupted on the Vilaine at the Moulin de Boël, between Messac and Rennes. You will therefore not be able to navigate as far as Rennes for the whole of the 2025 season.

Update of 18/04/25: Due to work to replace the Boël valve, navigation is only possible as far as Pierchatel until further notice. This means that you can only cruise north from Messac for 1.5 hours as far as the Molière lock. If you wish to visit Rennes from Messac, it is advisable to take the train - the station is just opposite the Messac base.

Update 18/04/25: Due to heavy flooding in January, mooring on the pontoons at La Gacilly is not possible until further notice, as the pontoons are not secure. Navigation on the Aff river is possible, but mooring is not. 

Whether on the Nantes-Brest Canal or on the Vilaine River, mooring is only permitted in designated places and not along the banks.

  • Car: A11 motorway exit 23 (Nantes East)
