The Brittany / Ille-et-Vilaine region
Brittany used to extend down as far as Nantes, which is now the capital town of Loire Atlantique. Consequently there are still Breton features to be seen in many towns and villages, and Redon's Abbey dates back to at least the 11th Century. Our proximity to the coast means that we benefit from a micro-climate, and with easy access to the coast, there are many safe beaches for swimming as well as wind surfing. The local wildlife includes buzzards, herons, hoopoe, red squirrel, deer and wild boar.
Redon area
Redon is a major crossroads between Brittany and Western Loire and the South. The Nantes-Brest Canal is just 15 minutes away and provides excellent walks and cycle rides as do the local rivers Vilaine and Don. The town of Redon has an excellent Monday market, which features an indoor hall of produce, meat, fish and local crepes and galletes. It is possible to take a trip on the TGV (high speed train) to Paris from Redon, and in October, Redon celebrates the sweet chestnut festival. There are plenty of local places to visit, including the car museum at Loheac, the Prehistoric Park at Malansac, Oceanarium at le Croisic, the superb towns of Vannes and Nantes, Rochefort en Terre and La Gacilly.
How to get there
