In addition to being easy to handle, our boats are robust. They can accommodate up to 10 people (8 adults maximum). And good news: animals are allowed on board.
With family, friends, or as a couple, treat yourself to a short break or a big getaway! Walk of one hour, two hours, three hours or even the whole day! Everything is possible according to your desires! Departing from Saint-Nicolas-des-Eaux, choose your formula:
And as a bonus, valid for all formulas: zero noise, zero pollution, a 100% natural experience in harmony with Blavet.
As you can imagine, demand is higher in summer. For this period, we recommend that you book your boat rental (s). It is possible online, by phone or on site, at 13 Promenade des Estivants, Saint-Nicolas-des-Eaux. In all cases, payment is made on site on the day of booking. In the case of an online reservation, a bank card is required to guarantee the reservation.
Meet at the Ecluserie, 15 minutes before your reservation schedule. On site, we draw up the contract, we equip you with life jackets and make way for the “brief” before letting you navigate independently.
At one time or another during the day, the weather is nice in Brittany! Remember to bring a cap and sunscreen. Don't forget to bring water and why not a picnic if the time slot is suitable.

28 locks allow you to navigate on the Blavet between Pontivy and Hennebont. They date from the 19th century and... still work very well today!
The passage of the locks? Don't worry. The lock operators are manoeuvring to get you through the lock easily.
Take advantage of it: once in the lock, you will be in the front row to watch the manipulations!
So, ready for an unusual stroll?
Le Blavet,” Ar Blavezh ” (“running water” in Breton) is a rather unknown and preserved river. It offers exceptional viewpoints and superb mirror effects. Attention lovers of suspended moments close to nature... From your boat, along the towpath, you will fully appreciate the landscapes, sounds and colors! Apart from the majestic birds of the river, gray herons and kingfishers and a few fishermen and cycle tourists, nothing should disturb your peace of mind!
Along the locks, the Blavet opens a charming path between the moors and reveals remarkable perspectives! Among the heritage treasures, the astonishing Saint Gildas Chapel nestled in the rock will not fail to surprise you. Back in Saint-Nicolas-des-Eaux, the Saint-Nicolas chapel is also worth a visit.
