From one lock to another, the Vilaine cuts through the steep rocks, skirts the fir trees, runs under the bridges and caresses the memory of the disappeared trades, linked to the life of the river. The Vilaine allows you to move away from Rennes to gradually reach the ocean. Among the locks lining the valley, the Molière lock with its mill deserves a stop. The course of the Vilaine River is disturbed by the steep red schist rocks to the west of Laillé. Here reign the fir trees, grouped in high forests. After crossing the Bouexière mill, the river winds up in Bourg-des-Comptes along the Curve, a natural space and ecological site where many migratory species enjoy themselves. The port of Messac-Guipry offers you the charm of its quays where the cries of the boatmen of the "salt road" seem to resonate.
Naturalistic discoveries, nautical relays, megalithic remains, strolls in a city along the water... your trip from Guipry to Redon does not lack contrasts. Finally, take the time to walk along the old quays of Redon, cross footbridges and admire the beautiful shipowners' houses. From steep banks to ria, the Vilaine flows towards the Ocean, bathing surprising landscapes, ideal for sports, strolling or historical discovery.
