At the confluence of the Rivers Oust and Vilaine, Redon is like an island in the midst of the land. Here the marshes form a star around the town, giving it a unique personality. Apart from the old town and the magnificent Saint-Sauveur Abbey, the treasures of the landscape can be explored on foot or by boat. Rivers full of fish, bird sanctuaries, and much more – a magnificent natural heritage.
All aboard!
Hire a boat at La Roche-Bernard, Redon, Messac or Pont-Réan – the very best way to explore the Redon Marshes. On your trip, you will see beautiful maritime pines and chestnut trees, while the banks of the Vilaine are dotted with salt barns and old fortifications. A surprising trip along the waters.
An immense abbey
Spend a few hours exploring Redon and the magnificent Benedictine abbey of Saint-Sauveur, the most important abbey in Brittany during the Middle Ages. Today the historic town still preserves beautiful examples from the architectural heritage of its past. Admire the Château du Mail or the Hôtel de Richelieu with its square turret.
