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.

This new way to meet the city is a great success. Nothing more normal for this ultra-modern treasure hunt!

It is both educational and sporting, and this activity is suitable for both small and large. Try it!

Built in 1964, this 24-barrel boat sailed at sea until 1992 and today is the living memory of fishing at La Turballe. Saved from destruction by passionate people, he discovered himself in the harbor, afloat.

From the museum of Vivoin, the Hemp Circuit stretches over 30 km and passes through all places suggestive of culture. In particular, it makes it possible to stop in farmers who have restored their oven or who have themselves known culture more than sixty years ago. Indeed, hemp, in Sarthe, is a culture, a tradition in particular the north of the department. People who have people today easily tell how they saw, forty-five years ago, their parents exploiting what has made Maine great: it was around 1865 that hemp cultivation reached its peak. The Sarthe is then the first producer department. Its production is mainly used for textiles, fishing nets, ropes and sails of the navy. Then, competing with cotton and synthetic fibres, this culture is declining. Since 1990, however, it has developed and produced, among other things, paper, fuel, medicines, textile fibres, cattle feeds, fertilizers, insulation products… Hemp ovens have been restored, thanks to the energy of a backup association. They are to rediscover with this circuit through the belmontaise campaign. Information and leaflet at the Tourist Office.
