5 days to discover the must-see places of Brittany

Today’s ride takes you along the wild, sandy beaches of the Mont-Saint-Michel. Ride at your own pace as you gaze at the magnificent abbey. You could enjoy some water activities in Hirel or bike directly through the countryside to Dol-de-Bretagne. This medieval town is dominated by the 13th century massive cathedral. Climb the Tour-Notre-Dame for outstanding views of the area.

Let’s get ready, your daily step takes you to the world-famous Mont-Saint-Michel Abbey! The gravity defying medieval monastery will astound you as you explore this massive building.

After this stop in Normandy (even if the Bretons often claim Mont Saint Michel for themselves, it is important to know it is Norman when travelling there), you follow the cycle path to Antrain and its castle.
You ride then through an amazing countryside and discover small historical cities such as Bazouges-la-Pérouse and feel with all your senses the liveliness of a preserved nature made of woods, ponds and fields. Meet the canal of Ille-et-Rance for the last kilometers and stop in Hédé with its eleven locks.

Continue along the canal and towpath. Take time to explore the medieval town of Lehon with its splendid Royal Abbey.
In Dinan, don’t miss taking a look at the 43 meter high "Tour de l’Horloge" which consists of both a dungeon and a bell tower.

The greenway, a road reserved for bicycles, goes away from the canal to wind between fields and forests along an old railway.

You arrive in the heart of the seaside town of Dinard. Ride along the large villas overlooking the sea and walk on the beach among the small two-colored huts, which make the charm of Dinard before embarking for Saint-Malo.

You take a boat from Compagnie Corsaire with your bikes from Dinard to Saint-Malo. The crossing takes 10 minutes.
