Clos-Pointu Quarry

Highlight • Structure

Magnificent quarry which, preferably in sunny weather, shines with its blue water. Be careful, however, access is prohibited for swimming due to its very cold water and the risk of drowning.

Guipry-Messac Mill

Highlight • Restaurant

This former watermill, documented as early as 1089, was initially used as a fulling mill before being converted into a flour mill in the 19th century. Its operation ceased on December 31, 1974. Since then, the building has stood as a significant heritage landmark, marking the industrial and riverine history of the Vilaine Valley.

Uzel Rock

Highlight • Other

Pléchâtel-Lohéac station, on the Rennes to Redon railway line, is located at the foot of the Uzel rock. This rock was, without a doubt, the highest and wildest site on the banks of the Vilaine before the passage of the railway, which made it partially disappear. At the top were huge stones, shaped like a statue. Around the middle, there are still natural caves where you can see the names of the walkers who have visited them, engraved on the shale of the walls. These caves, which were quite difficult in the past, are almost impassable today.
It is there, on this rock, before the construction of the bridge which now connects the town of Pléchâtel to that of Saint-Malo-de-Phily, that we were told half a century ago by an old man called Richomme , boatman responsible for transporting passengers from one bank to the other, the legend of the Rocher d'Uzel (...).
see "The legend of the Rocher d'Uzel" in "Les contes du pays gallo" by Adolphe Orain (published in 1904).

Moulin de la Bouëxière

Highlight • Monument

The Bouëxière mill dates from 1471, although it has undergone many transformations over time. In 1879, it was notably converted into a flour mill.

Boël Mill

Highlight • Monument

Le Boël is one of the emblematic sites of the Vilaine valley.

Essential place for walks or bike rides (mountain biking, road or gravel, there is something for everyone) and even kayaking or canoeing, stopover on the towpath from Rennes to Redon with its picnic tables . The heights offer a very pretty panorama, as far as Rennes in good weather.

The passage of the lock for the boats is always a spectacle for the little ones but also for the older ones.

There is also a magnificent 12th century watermill.
To have fun, you can have lunch in a very good restaurant, the Marin Boël, and recently in a creperie.
