Navigating the Notre-Dame-de-Rumengol, it's a little dive in the history of commercial navigation to sail. Indeed, this mythical sailboat for the Bretons was restored to the Maritime Holidays of Brest in 1996. It was during these holidays that he was handed over to the water in Brest harbour, in front of an impressive crowd. The culmination of a long renovation site, and a new life for this sailboat to the rich past. Classified as a historic monument, this gabare was established in 1945 at Keraudren town Hall. First used for the transport of wine, Notre-Dame-de-Rumengol subsequently liaises between Brittany and England for the carriage of sand. His career ended in 1980, for a while. It was thanks to the passion and motivation of the An Test association that the sailboat was able to resume the sea, and can still make the Brest Harbour, Alder and Islands of the Mer d'Iroise discover. The association also offers an introduction to astronomical navigation for those who doubt the reliability of their GPS.

Located in the town of Rhodes, Etang du Stock is the largest lake in the region, covering 750 hectares. It offers visitors the chance to discover a wild and unspoilt natural environment. Canoe enthusiasts will be delighted, as this sport is easily practiced on the pond. However, it's important to note that canoeing on calm water requires more effort than canoeing on a river. To make the most of this experience, we recommend following the banks of the pond to discover the "corneas", unique geological formations that are home to fragile fauna such as harriers, bitterns and water rails. We advise you not to get too close to the reed beds to avoid disturbing these animals. The proposed route is a loop of around 20 kilometers, with an estimated duration of 10 hours.
