The Mottay lock, located on the Rance, is a charming and peaceful place, ideal for a stroll along the canal. Surrounded by greenery, this traditional lock offers a bucolic setting where you can watch the boats pass by and enjoy the calm of the banks.

Ille-et-Rance Canal

Highlight • Other

The Ille-et-Rance canal is a small canal which connects the cities of Rennes and Saint-Malo. It starts at the “Mail” lock in Rennes and ends at the “Châtelier” lock in Saint-Samson-sur-Rance in Côtes-d’Armor. This section of the Ille & Rance canal coming from Dinan, which is also a greenway, will take you to Montreuil-sur-Ille. It is on its own site, except for a very small part of less than 2 km, which takes a small, safe road. This greenway is very pleasant, offering very pretty landscapes decorated with beautifully flowered lock keepers' houses.
