Boating in Brittany - Part 3

Day 5
To Malestroit

Early morning on the river

Heading upstream

Quick lunch break

Entering Malestroit

Beautiful town moorings

Mill adjacent the moorings

Malestroit market square

With lovely side streets

As lovely as Malestroit was we decided to head back downstream so we had a shorter days cruising tomorrow.

We enjoyed a fine meal onboard with a starter of snails in garlic sauce followed by fresh calamari and scallops served with garlic bread.

Day Six
Back to Redon

We awoke to the promise of another fine day

Heading doenstream

Pretty lock cottages

All of the locks are beautifully maintained and all are manned with the lock keepers taking great pride in their floral displays

Back onto canal sections

We are making much better progress downstream.

Still sunny. We really were spoiled with the weather.

Waiting for the lock at Redon.

Back on the basin at Redon for the evening. At ten euro per night with electric and water it was a very reasonable price. But we understand that the price does vary during the summer months.
