You have to carry the bike to cross the dam, but it's worth the view!

Riding along the Rigole is one of the most beautiful rides I've ever had. It's at least 50km of gentle downhill on a single trail, wooded and therefore shady. I didn't meet any other cyclists and only met five walkers. The corners of my mouth were constantly almost at my ears, absolutely fantastic!

Taste the life of a castle during a candlelit dinner at the Château de Quintin, by candlelight. This flagship event of the Quintin calendar takes place in the summer. It is an original way to discover its furnished interiors. In addition to guided tours, the Château de Quintin presents a permanent exhibition on the "Wonders of our collections". Ball cards, salt and perfume bottles, fans, antique textiles and clothing, seals and miniatures... complete the tableware (glassware, silverware, porcelain...) and will show you the diversity of a family collection. The Château de Quintin is bordered by a park composed of French gardens and classified as Historic Monuments. You will be soothed by the balance of these gardens, called classical, with geometric lines, with their squares of lawn punctuated by boxwood, lines of hornbeams and curtains of lime trees. https://www.baiedesaintbrieuc.com/quintin/chateau-de-quintin/ Photo credit: Emmanuel Berthier
