Description of
the boating holiday
A weekend boating holiday in Brittany
Our two-day cruising itinerary sees you hire a canal boat on the Canal de Nantes à Brest and a discovery of one of the finest things to come out of Brittany – cider!
Your canal boating holiday in Brittany begins at the Nicols base in Glénac, located in the heart of Morbihan. No previous boating experience or licence is needed and the base team will give you instructions about navigating your canal boat. From Glénac you’ll cruise on the Canal de Nantes à Brest in the direction of Redon and then on towards Guenrouët.
Glénac: a small quiet village with a marsh area full of wild birds, restaurant in the village centre is also an excellent place to purchase groceries to take with you on your trip – including fresh bread and croissants!
La Gacilly: the famous Yves Rocher Spa, known as a ‘village of craftsmen’ with wax, ceramic, wood, glass and flowers all being used to make high quality product
Redon: historic town with pedestrian streets, Museum of the west shipping industry, guided tour of the abbey or of the monastery of the Calvairiennes
Pont Miny: quiet mooring spot with picnic area and barbecues, close to the ‘Maison du Canal’
Guenrouët: Kerisac cider factory, Swimming pool with slides, mini-golf

A brilliant boating holiday weekend
Our multi-generation crew had a fantastic time on our weekend away on a canal boat. There was something for everyone – from the fun of the port at Guenrouët for the youngest to the visit to the Cidrerie and the Museum of the Batellerie de Redon for the older family members.
