A port in the countryside
It's not quite a river but it's not the sea either, here one comes across river boatmen but also old sea dogs;- that's the Foleux marina! Here, the river Vilaine leaves the marshes and the riverbanks narrow to form an estuary leading to the sea.

The scenic road
Many stop-offs are proposed along the Vilaine's scenic route. It overlooks the marshes and offers superb vantage points over the twists and turns of the river Vilaine.

Some ideas for outings
Five, 10 minute-1 hour long trips allow one to find out a little bit more about the sites which make up this grandiose landscape :
The Foleux marina : The valley becomes narrower, the Trévelo contributory joins the Vilaine river and the elegant loops disappear towards the sea...
The little St. Cado valley : A trip to this small valley as far as the little village on the water's edge is recommended.
The Rohello site : A peak on rocky heath-land jutting out towards the river Vilaine. From there one finds a trail with many viewpoints over the immense marshes...
The Béganne bell tower: Rare bats (Grands Murins) have founded one of their main colonies in Brittany...
The Champ Guy vantage point : From this superb vantage point one has a view over the entire valley...
