In a few words

From the English Channel to the Gulf of Morbihan, embark on a 5-day cycling trip in the heart of Brittany, where medieval cities, legendary forests and waterside paths each tell a new story.

From Saint-Malo, cross the Rance River towards Dinard and its elegant Belle Époque villas, before reaching Dinan and its medieval streets. Route 3 Bretagne then takes you along the Ille-et-Rance Canal, on greenways and quiet country roads through the charming Breton countryside.

As you approach Brocéliande, legends abound: mysterious forests, the Yvel River, and charming villages dot the road towards Ploërmel and Questembert. Then, head towards the Gulf of Morbihan and Vannes, where medieval ramparts and a marina provide the perfect setting to conclude this adventure blending Breton heritage, nature, and cycling.

With our one-way service, your journey always moves in the same direction: pick up your bike at the start, leave it at the finish and fully enjoy the ride, without having to backtrack.

The expert's opinion

This trip is suitable for travelers in normal physical condition who are used to regular physical activity. You don't need to be an experienced cyclist: the stages are designed to allow everyone to ride at their own pace and fully enjoy the route.

The difficulty level can vary depending on the distance, elevation gain, and weather conditions of each stage. Some cycling practice before departure is recommended to fully enjoy the trip.

For added comfort, it is also possible to opt for an electric bike, which is particularly recommended for travelers wishing to reduce effort on climbs or on longer stages.

    🚲 From privateers to canals. Start your journey in an original way: take the sea bus from Saint-Malo to Dinard! Once on the other side, cycle among the Belle Époque villas before joining the greenway. It's the ideal and accessible starting point for your adventure on Brittany's Route 3, guided by the cool water.

    🏰 The highlight of the day is undoubtedly Dinan. This proud medieval city overlooks the Rance River and offers an unforgettable heritage break. You then reach the absolute tranquility of the towpath along the Ille-et-Rance Canal.

    🛶 Arrival in Évran. This peaceful village on the canal is an ideal place to relax. Take the opportunity to stroll around the Bétineuc pond or watch the boats passing through the Mottay lock.
