Further along the river Blavet is the beautiful village of St Nicholas des Eaux where you can take one of the marked walking trails or hire kayaks and paddle boards. Pontivy is a medieval town with links to Napoleon (market day is Monday) and also worth a visit is the charming little town of Josselin (36km) with its picturesque riverside château or the larger city of Vannes which is stunning. For a day at the seaside, the beautiful, white sandy La Pointe beach at Port Louis is worth the 45 minute drive.
