Water tours and activities Côtes-D'Armor

This is an original way to discover Pontrieux, from the river. Lasting 25 minutes, this guided and piloted walk, aboard a boat equipped with an ultra-quiet electric motor, will take you from downtown to the port. You will admire about fifty recently restored wash houses along the river. Each bourgeois house had one of them. You will learn more about the history of the city, from where the linen cloth produced in the area was once exported.

Located at Port de Dinan - Lanvallay, Maison de la Rance offers a discovery of the Vallée de la Rance on a new day. From 2010, the museum got a facelift. Interactive models, sound effects, smell boxes, simulation of tides: a permanent exhibition to be discovered while enjoying the natural and cultural heritage of a “maritime river”. This natural house also offers nature excursions accompanied by an entertainer, who on foot, on a bike or by boat will take you to listen to birds and observe the natural environments surrounding you.

The Sloop d 'Erquy is an association law 1901 which brings together fans around Saint Jeanne, the replica of a sailboat dating back to 1912 (no worries, this boat will not know the same fate as its illustrious cousin, the Titanic, inaugurated the same year: There is no iceberg in the Channel!). The association offers you sea walks at 2 a. m. in the morning or 3 hours in the afternoon of Erquy, and will even take you to the maneuvers if you wish. The boat can accommodate up to 18 people of all ages, regardless of their physical condition.

La Pauline is a ship built in 1901, and resembles the first lobster vessels from Loguivy, rigged in bocq or sloop. Dahouët and Saint-Jacut are probably the only ports in the bay of Saint-Brieuc where you can still find flambarts, in the first half of the 20th century. After the First World War, the port's activities slowed down and these boats gradually disappeared. It is on board a replica that it is possible to go for a walk at sea, to play hide and seek between the islets of Bréhat or to push as far as the Channel Islands. Given the importance of the tides in Dahouët, the boat takes you on trips of 3 hours, 12 hours or... a few days. Time to take the helm, learn the manoeuvres and the rudiments of navigation. Between occasional crew members and longtime sailors, the current is flowing right away. Conviviality is at its best.
