Château de Combourg, the emblem of the territory, is where the writer François-René de Châteaubriand grew up, who went on to start the “romanticism” literary movement. The inside of the castle can be visited on a guided tour.
Choose the right angle to enjoy this incredible sight: a lock every 200 m. The eleven locks, which are still manually operated, allow pleasure boats to cross a vertical drop of 27 m. Then, take a stroll or bike ride on the Ille-et-Rance towpath.
The medieval castle of Montmuran, in Les Iffs commune, south of Romantic Brittany, opens to the public in the summer. Built between the 12th and 15th centuries, it still has two medieval drawbridges in working order.
Les Etangs du Canal in the communes of Hédé-Bazouges and Dingé is a Natura 2000 site. This means a sensitive natural area to be protected.
