Blain: Holiday Apartments and Holiday Homes

Culture

The Château de Groulais was built in the 13th century and extensively remodelled in the 16th century. It was part of the defence of the Breton border and is classified as a historic monument.

Renting a holiday apartment in Blain is one option for a stay in the town.

Landscape

The Circuit des carrières circular route is approximately 13.5 km long, usually takes between 3 hours 15 minutes and 4 hours, and has only slight changes in elevation. It starts at the port of Blain, follows the Canal de Nantes à Brest for several kilometres, and then continues along a quiet path between trees before ending again at the port of Blain.

The Circuit des carrières circular route is suitable for outings with children, but is not accessible at all for people with difficulties walking or moving around.

The Canal de Nantes à Brest runs through Blain. Its section in the Loire-Atlantique department can be explored by boat, on foot or by bicycle along the towpath. La Toue de Blain offers sightseeing cruises as well as dining cruises on the Canal de Nantes à Brest.
