Ecluse de l'Ile

"Ecluse de l’Ile is a perfect place to stay for anyone cycling the canal de Nantes a Brest. The canal itself is an incredible feat of engineering. The countryside is magnificent. One is surrounded by birdsong, wildlife, tranquility. An Ecluse is a lock keeper’s home. We passed so many on our journey. Each one evokes the history of the canal, the people who lived nearby and those who continue to give it love and care. In that sense staying in an Ecluse, modernised, yet rooted to its past, was a privilege. Meeting Catherine, our attentive hostess and custodian was amazing. Breakfast was fabulous with produce locally made. The evening we stayed we relaxed outside in the sunshine, our bikes were securely stored."

"Great spot close to other amenities in town, but an idyllic quiet location to enjoy the natural sounds of birdsong and the rustling of leaves in the breeze next to the canal."

"The beautiful house is right on the cycle route on the canal side. Very welcoming and friendly hostess who pays attention to every detail. We used Catherine’s kitchen to prepare our evening meal and she was very helpful in this. Lovely room, comfortable bed and very peaceful and quiet. So much care and attention with the excellent breakfast. Good cycle storage. We cannot recommend enough. Thank you"
