ILLE-AND-RANCE CHANNEL
If the idea of opening a waterway between Rennes and Saint-Malo germs from the 1832 th century, it was in that the canal of Ille-et-Rance was inaugurated. The project becomes serious at the time of Napoleon Bonaparte's consulate, which appears to be a sensible way to avoid the maritime blockade of England. First of all, it is only local workers who are involved, until nearly 300 Spanish prisoners will be able to speed up the work. The apogee of the railway puts an end in 1923 to the maritime freight of fresh water authorized by the canal, allowing fishermen, boaters and other recreational recreational and recreational enthusiasts to place their place. There are 61 locks on the 144 km of the canal, three of which cross Evran. You can discover them on foot or by bike on the slipway to reach Rennes or Dinard, or in a picturesque way, by boat among those made available (without permits) at the port of Evran.
