discover the region with our photos
The picturesque town of La Gacilly is nestled in the enchanting Aff valley, at the heart of the legendary land of Brocéliande. Succumb to its charms as you stroll the picture postcard streets and, if you have the opportunity, be sure to catch the photo festival that’s held here every year. This Breton town is also famous for being the birthplace of Yves Rocher. A botanical garden and bamboo plantation now remind all visitors of Yves Rocher's passion, making La Gacilly an original stopping point during your waterway cruise in Brittany.
Fishing – another pleasure to enjoy in Brittany
Brittany has a host of waterways and, although you’ll have no trouble occupying yourselves aboard your houseboat, you’ll also be able to enjoy one of the region’s simple pleasures and leading activities: fishing. There’s no need to travel as far as the seashore to get out your rods and landing nets. Brittany’s wealth of lakes and rivers ensure that you can indulge in this pleasure whenever you wish. Moor up along the banks of the Vilaine or try fishing from the deck of your houseboat. The slow pace of waterway cruising guarantees ample opportunities to indulge in this passion, so make the most of it! And to strengthen your relationship with the local fishermen, remember to slow the speed of your rental boat as you navigate the waters of Brittany.
Brittany – a gastronomic voyage to savour
A trip through Brittany won’t be complete without succumbing to the delights of Breton crêpes and galettes, whether in the inns and restaurants you encounter during your waterway cruise or aboard your licence-free boat itself. There’ll be wheat crêpes and buckwheat galettes to satisfy all appetites, along with many other gastronomic specialities to discover as part of your next waterway cruise. Embrace the flavours of Guéméné’s authentic andouille sausages, along with the andouilles de campagne that you’ll find in all the local markets. Seafood platters or armoricaine lobster will liven up your stay, and Breton drinks, such as the local beers, barley wine, chouchen, Muscadet and Gros-Plant will accompany you throughout your waterway cruise.
