Plélauff: Holiday apartments and houses

The approximately 11-kilometre section of the Nantes–Brest Canal in Plélauff has six locks. Circular hiking and cycling routes run along the canal. At the Bon Repos lock complex, there is a kayak ramp on the opposite bank of the lock.

Nature and trails

The towpath begins at the Bon Repos road bridge on the left bank. The Kerlouët and Bon-Repos locks are among the six locks in Plélauff; picnic tables are available along the Voie Bleue for a break. Parking motorhomes along the canal in Plélauff is tolerated, and there is also a picnic area there.

The decommissioned and restored Saint-Hervé lock complex No. 139 has a new metal bridge over the overflow.

Culture and history

The Bon Repos road bridge was built in the 17th century. The Bon Repos lock complex bears witness to the canal’s former port-related and commercial activity, which was connected with the proximity of the Forges de Salles and the abbey.

The Chapelle Notre-Dame-de-la-Croix dates from 1485. It contains an exceptional polychrome wooden rood screen with an animal frieze depicting the seven deadly sins.

Outside the entrance to Saint-Pierre Church, three bells are positioned at human height; previously, they hung for a long time between two yew trees. The Ecce Homo statue dates from the 16th century.

Plélauff is associated with Kost ar c’hoad, a traditional Breton gavotte in 8-beat time.
