A credit to Brittany's inland western waterways transport
On the banks of Redon's marina in the Jean Bart Quay and clearly visible with its 2 real lock's doors, this permanent exhibition invites one to come and discover inland western waterways transport, which with their link with the sea have given Redon its prosperity.

Visit a barge

The construction and function of canals, naval construction, transported merchandise and everyday life of bargees are presented with the aid of photographs, archives, everyday objects, models, an aquarium and a documentary film called "Waterways as a Heritage".
