What to do and see around Montertelot and the Nantes-Brest Canal
Nestled on the banks of the Nantes-Brest Canal, in the heart of the Oust valley, Montertelot is a former trading quay that has become one of the most peaceful stopping points in the Morbihan. Its lock no. 29 and its towpath make it an ideal starting point for discovering the valley on foot, by bike or on the water. With its Playa-Rent station at the lock car park, you can set off in a few minutes for a paddle board or kayak trip on calm, unspoilt water. All around, castles, medieval towns and lush nature make up a unique playground between canal, river and the legends of Brocéliande.
The canal and its towpath
The Nantes-Brest Canal runs through Montertelot with a flat, safe towpath popular with walkers and cyclists. The slow, sheltered water is ideal for a paddle board or kayak trip from the station.
The Oust valley
Listed as a Grand Site, the Oust valley unfolds its green landscapes from village to lock, dotted with mills and quays. A paddle board trip is the most beautiful way to explore its meanders along the water.
Josselin and its castle
About twenty kilometres away, Josselin reveals its spectacular Rohan castle, whose towers have overlooked the Oust since the 14th century. Its medieval town and half-timbered houses are well worth a visit.
Malestroit, the Pearl of the Oust
A Petite Cité de Caractère, Malestroit has rows of timber-framed houses, picturesque lanes and age-old heritage around the Saint-Gilles church. All around the centre, you will find the canal and its towpath.
Ploërmel and the Lac au Duc
Close by, Ploërmel and its vast Lac au Duc show another side of the valley, between open water and wide open spaces. The lake is ideal for hiking, fishing and cycling along the greenway.
La Gacilly and Brocéliande
Further south, La Gacilly hosts Europe’s largest open-air photography festival every summer. Nearby, the forest of Brocéliande unfolds its Arthurian legends and enchanted trails.
