Description by the author

Stage from Mur-de-Bretagne to Josselin via La Vélodyssée.

From Mûr-de-Bretagne, a long descent leads down a shared road to the foot of the dam at Lac de Guerlédan.

From the dam to Pontivy, the Blavet is lushly vegetated, giving this stage of La Vélodyssée an enchanting atmosphere! A steep descent of 2 km from the center of Mûr-de-Bretagne to the Guerlédan dam.

In Pontivy, you'll find no less than 54 locks and the Rigole d'Hilvern, which gives you a better idea of the hydraulic complexity of a structure as titanic as the canal! Then make an appointment with history in the heart of the Pays de Rohan!

Shortly after Rohan, don't forget to take a detour to the Abbey of Timadeuc, a stop for both heritage and culinary delights... As you approach Josselin, you can catch a glimpse of the impressive fortress built on a rock.
