The Jardin du Val Nançon stretches picturesquely along the Nançon River, framing the northern city walls of Fougères with lush greenery. Covering approximately two hectares, various themed areas invite exploration. This includes a botanical garden, the "Priest's Garden," a reference to the remains of an ancient abbey, a so-called "plant cage," and a colorfully landscaped slope. Of particular note is the contemporary glass art sculpture "L'œuvre à la vie" by Louis-Marie Catta from 2000, which represents peace and dialogue between cultures.

Dominated by one of the largest medieval castles in Europe, Fougères boasts magnificent ramparts, towers, and a perfectly preserved historic center. From the heights, the view takes in the Nançon Valley and its half-timbered houses, offering beautiful perspectives. It's an ideal stop along the Régalante to immerse yourself in Breton history before hitting the road again.

This Guinguette de Villanfray is a superb spot for a break in the shade, a drink or a snack, and even a game of pétanque. I recommend this relaxing spot with a view of the Château de Villanfray.

The Cantache pond is a relatively recent creation, created in 1995 by the creation of the Cantache dam built the same year.

The unmissable Cantache lake, which unfortunately, road cyclists, you'll only see from the road 😅. You'll need to put on your 30mm tires to be able to go around and enjoy the trails that wind around this reservoir. Sincerely 🫶
