TO THE NANTES BREST CANAL
BY BIKE
From Nort sur Erdre
Built under Napoleon to connect Nantes to

Lorient, the Nantes-Brest Canal now provides

water.
Its towpath constitutes a 360kilometer-long cycle route suited for all.
Discover its bridges, its locks, its water
supply reservoirs as you cycle along the
lovely banks of both natural rivers and
artificial sections.
