Redon - Ille-et-Vilaine

home > regions > Ille-et-Vilaine > places of interest > Redon

Situated at the confluence of the rivers Vilaine and Oust, and the Nantes-Brest canal is Redon, another “little Venice”. This time the nickname is justified as the town is criss-crossed with waterways and numerous bridges. The old port, below Grand’Rue, is pleasant for a stroll along the towpath, among the colourful locks and the old houses with their salt lofts.

There are many festivals during the year including Les Nocturiales at the end of July and the beginning of August. This celebration of medieval, baroque and celtic music features weekly performances around the church of St Sauveur. The chestnut fair, La Foire de la Teillouse, takes place in October.
