Nymphea

Maximum Capacity:  6 Guests

Nestled in France’s wild northwest, Brittany enchants with its verdant landscapes, timeless stone villages, and a unique blend of Celtic and French spirit. One of its hidden gems is the tranquil stretch of the Nantes à Brest canal that winds between Redon and Josselin. Cruising this peaceful waterway, travelers drift past lush meadows, ancient forests, and elegant locks, discovering the heart of Brittany at a gentle pace. The journey is punctuated by the sight of Josselin’s fairy-tale château reflected in the calm canal and the charming medieval ambiance of riverside towns. Along these serene waters, the beauty of Brittany reveals itself in quiet moments—a heron lifting from the reeds, the perfume of wildflowers on the breeze, and the soft colors of dawn glimmering on the surface, making every mile between Redon and Josselin a poetic experience.
