Experience Brittany and all it has to offer on a river or canal cruise departing from Redon

With Canalous, you select the house­boat that best suits your wish­es and trav­el style. Before set­ting off and get­ting to grips with nav­i­ga­tion, take time to explore the charm­ing town of Redon. This town is full of char­ac­ter and sur­pris­es, from the remark­able Abbey Church of Saint-Sauveur to the for­mer abbey build­ings, now home to the local sec­ondary school. As you wan­der through the streets, admire the ele­gant pri­vate man­sions, includ­ing the strik­ing Hôtel de Richelieu.

From Redon, count­less cruis­ing itin­er­aries unfold before you, invit­ing both dis­cov­ery and day­dream­ing. Set off in search of the leg­endary land of Mer­lin, or indulge in Brittany’s culi­nary delights — far bre­ton, crêpes, and oth­er local spe­cial­ties await. Whether you choose the peace­ful Vilaine Riv­er or the his­toric Nantes – Brest Canal, your self-dri­ve house­boat gives you com­plete free­dom to decide where and when to stop. And don’t miss the chance to walk or cycle along the scenic banks of the Loire.
