New cafe just on the way out of Pontivy owned by a very friendly and helpful gentleman with lots of experience and tips. He will soon have a bike repair station too! Top!

Numerous cafes around the huge square/market area of Pontivy. Pick one and have a break The Cafe Central (I think was the name) was especially nice, but maybe there are others just as good if not better nearby!

No tips, just enjoyed the solid Mairie building and the fine-looking bar-tabac nearby. Noyal-Pontivy is reached by some lovely, very quiet roads from Pontivy.

The old castle is now partially open to the public. It looks very defensive.

This greenway follows a tiny watercourse called the Hilvern Channel. When it comes to tranquility, it's hard to find better! 61.6 kilometers long and particularly tortuous, its two ends are only 21 kilometers apart as the crow flies.
