Combourg Castle

Highlight • Castle

Built between the twelfth and the fourteenth century, the Château de Combourg is a marvel. But what makes it really essential is the work of one of these illustrious occupants, the writer François René de Chateaubriand. Alone and frightened, the young Chateaubriand hears at night the ghost of a cat and a wooden leg pacing the corridors and the stairs. He will be inspired by his childhood experience for the writing of his book "Memories from beyond the grave". Even today some members of the castle staff feel a presence.
This haunted fortress can be visited. For information visit the following site: chateau-combourg.com

Ille-et-Rance Canal

Highlight • River

Construction of the Ille-et-Rance canal began in 1804, under Napoleon I and ended in 1832. The bulk of the work is concentrated on the 11 locks that connect two rivers. It connects the city of Rennes to that of Saint-Malo.

Ille Flottante

Highlight • Restaurant

Ille Flottante offers unusual accommodation on the Ille-et-Rance canal: on the water in 5 boats / 5 different atmospheres, in old horse boxes or in an old rig washed up in the meadow. There are also bicycles, small boat rentals, a bar and catering on site as well as a regional products shop for a gourmet break.

Site des Onze écluses

Highlight • Other

A series of 11 locks over a little more than 2 kilometers, roughly one every 200 meters, allows boats to overcome a 27-meter difference in elevation. It's a veritable aquatic elevator on the banks of the Ille-et-Rance Canal. The locks are still operated manually, and each one has its own lock keeper's house in the Napoleonic style.
