Travel Guide Plorec-Sur-Arguenon

From Rance to Arguenon) The Poudouvre, "country between two rivers" (comes from the Latin pagus and ancient Breton), is naturally bounded to the east by the Rance and to the west by the Arguenon. In Lanrelas, the Rance is only a small stream through in the basements, improvising its meanders as a result of granitic chaos. The Rophémel dam contrecarrer its peaceful path, before it finally lets it recover its free path. Its banks are adorned with mansions and gentilhommières, and more stately homes, as can be seen from the Cdt Castle. In the Faluns region, soils and rocks take a singular hue. This particular colour is due to the "maritime" past of the site. Indeed, we are on the territories covered by the Faluns Sea, which separated the ancient Armorique from the continent fifteen million years ago. Throughout the Rance, all the discoveries are conceivable. The Taden plain houses a bird reserve, and many protected mammals have been home to these peaceful shores. The animators of La Maison de la Rance, located on the marina of Dinan, will be a pleasure to take you with them to meet local ecosystems. At La Vicomté-sur-Rance, several hiking trails allow you to discover a barré spur, which is criss-crossed by many layons, and it is pleasant to pretend the. The barré spur once constituted a coriosolite defence. This step of land, naturally protected on one side by river and artificially on the other by the digging of a deep trench, made it easier to protect access to the camp. On the heights of Mont-Joly, prepare for a breathtaking view of the Rance, Taden and La Levant. Near the port of Yvet you can see carrelets, always used nowadays. In the Région-les-Lacs region, the countryside is shaped by the Arguenon, more savage and less docile than the Rance. Steep slopes and hilly paths build a unique landscape and unique perspectives.
