Navigation conditions to rent a licence-free boat on the Canal de Nantes à Brest

On the Canal de Nantes à Brest, between Redon and Pontivy, navigation is easy. It is an ideal destination for families or friends. During your stay, you will pass through electric locks. There are 87 on the Redon-Pontivy section, all of which are free and operated by lock keepers. Throughout your licence-free boat cruise, you will find a number of facilities guaranteeing you a smooth navigation (wharves, water, electricity and waste water disposal points...).

 

In this navigation area, you can start your river cruise in Redon, Glénac or Saint-Martin-Sur-Oust. Before leaving your departure base, you will receive a short 1-hour training session to familiarise yourself with your boat and to learn about lock passage and manoeuvres.

3 possible starting bases

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

Navigation is mainly on canals (except between Redon and Rennes). Easy on the whole, little current, few dangers, this region is perfectly suited for a first experience. Please note: due to maintenance work, navigation may be interrupted between Messac and Rennes. In this case, you will not be able to cruise to Rennes for the entire 2024 season.

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

Don't forget to stop off with your houseboat on the pontoons at the foot of the castle. You will discover that this castle has two completely different faces: on the canal side, where it appears as a medieval fortress, and on the courtyard side, where it offers a Renaissance-style view with its French gardens.Marché local le samedi matin
