Nature & small heritage

At Saint-Caradec, at the crossroads of Voie 6, the green Hilvern channel imposes its curves through the Breton countryside passing through Hémonstoir and Saint-Gonnery. The forest of Branguily and the Hilvern lock will mark the end of this picturesque and winding cycle route. All that remains for you to do is let yourself be guided by the canal from Nantes to Brest, punctuated by the numerous locks that can be found as far as Pontivy.
