Please Note: The canal de Nantes à Brest will be closed this year between Redon and Josselin from 15th September 2008 until the end of the season.
This means that cruises in Brittany at this time will not be able to cruise to La Gacilly or Josselin.

Barge holidays from Redon base

Chateau de Josselin Brittany is a land of vast skies, ancient granite villages, and prehistoric monuments. Redon, at the crossroads of the Vilaine and the Canal de Nantes à Brest is your gateway to the legends of Merlin the wizard.

Pass the Isle of Magpies, perfect setting for a fable. Next Gacilly with its mossy lanes and eel-filled reedbeds so beautiful in the morning light, then on to Josselin where the castle's mighty turrets are reflected in the canal. Pause too at Malestroit to admire its half-timbered houses.

Alternatively cruise to Rennes across the mysterious Breton landscape - a leisurely route with few locks.
