Hello everyone, The bridge has been dismantled for two years, undergoing repairs in the navigation workshops. I hope to see it again one day.

Cicé lock in Bruz. Possibility of crossing the Vilaine on foot or by bike.

The towpath leaves the Vilaine for a little less than 2 km to follow the Cicé canal, a long straight line without much interest. I recommend going around, between the Champcors mill and the Cicé lock, to follow the Vilaine along a more varied towpath, which offers beautiful views of the meanders of the river.
