Understand
Formerly used for merchant navigation, the canal is now mainly used for tourist navigation. The towpath also allows walking, horseback riding, cycling ...
Since the construction of the dam Guerlédan, navigation is limited from Nantes to Pontivy, and from Carhaix to the sea. Walkers or cyclists can, for their part, follow it entirely thanks to the towpaths.
