Description of
the boating holiday
Important information: part of the canal from Nantes to Brest (between the city of Redon and the junction with the Erdre) is closed to navigation from autumn 2022 until spring 2024.
Therefore, our base in Sucé sur Erdre will be closed for the entire 2023 season.
One-way trips from Glénac to Sucé sur Erdre will not be possible during this period.

An amazing way to see Nantes
What we loved about our weekend boating holiday on the River Erdre was the freedom of being able to moor our canal boat in the heart of Nantes on the island of Versailles. For one night we were alone on our small island, with its Japanese garden, in the centre of the capital of the Dukes of Brittany. A one-of-a-kind experience!
