At the beginning of the 16th century, Bazouges-la-Pérouse had over 5,000 inhabitants, focused on agriculture and trade. The town retains many traces of this past prosperity along its alleyways and its characterful buildings.

This locality experienced its golden age in the 16th century, enriched by merchant exchanges on this meeting point of commercial routes. This “Small town of character” has retained its old-world charm with its granite stone walls and half-timbered walls.

Beautiful view of the canal. There is a path along it, but it might not be suitable for a road bike with thin tires. Great place for a picnic. A little history : Construction of the Ille-et-Rance canal began in 1804, under Napoleon I, and ended in 1832. The bulk of the work focused on the 11 Hédé-Bazouges locks which connect the two rivers. A real aquatic ladder, they allow you to overcome a 27 m difference in height. Until the beginning of the 20th century, the canal's vocation was essentially commercial between Rennes and Saint-Malo, but little by little the railways and then the road took over, announcing the decline of this economic vocation. Today, the transport of goods has given way to river tourism.

The oldest remains of the parish church of Sainte-Justine de Gévezé date from the 12th century, notably a bay in the south wall of the nave. The Sainte-Justine Church was rebuilt in the 15th and 16th centuries, of which it retains some elements of its framework, or even gargoyles and crossettes with fantastic animal shapes. A tower had been built between 1614 and 1628. This one threatening to fall into ruins was rebuilt in the middle of the 19th century, in a different place: the bottom of the nave. The plans and specifications for this new porch bell tower were drawn up by Jacques Mellet who took delivery of the work in 1858. (wiki-rennes.fr)
