Enjoy a break out on the water in Brittany on a relaxing self-drive boating holiday from Le Boat. Explore the charms of this scenic coastal region's canals and rivers at your own pace as you wind your way through this historic locale. You won't need any previous boating experience for this holiday - the friendly on-site staff will demonstrate everything you need to know before you set off on your adventure.
There are countless things to see and do along the waterways of Brittany. Its Celtic heritage is evident everywhere, and the region is known as the Land of a Thousand Castles thanks to its historic forts and the many impressive manor houses (châteaux) that dot the landscape. If you'd rather mix in some more contemporary experiences, the cities of Nantes and Rennes are accessible by boat along the way. The local cuisine and wine is, of course, delicious, with fresh seafood a particular local speciality. What's more, the beautiful natural landscape is host to a range of wildlife, including herons, hawks, gannets, deer, and even wild boar.
It's your choice which of the area's canals and rivers you'd rather spend your holiday exploring, with the option to head inland to the medieval city of Dinan or make your way closer to the coast along three different routes. Either way, your journey begins in the village of Messac, where you'll find Le Boat's local base.
