Like the many locks on the Nantes-Brest canal, the Saint-Algon lock has long allowed boats to transport goods from one city to another. Today, the lock house is only the breath of a memory of this river period.

Bathed by the Alder, the town of Châteauneuf-du-Faou is an ideal stopover on the Nantes-Brest canal. Below, a campsite and a bistro await you. If you want more, you can always tackle the steep climb that brings you downtown. The shops are more numerous there and, on Thursday afternoon, the weekly market is held there.
