In 1804, construction began on a canal that was almost destined for you. Of course, at that time, it was a strategic decision of Napoleon Bonaparte in reaction to a maritime blockade by the English: it was planned to carry goods between Rennes and Saint-Malo. Then, at the beginning of the 20th century, the railroad and the roads put an end to its first life. It now has a very different vocation: to transport emotions!
