It is well worth exploring the countryside of the River Blavet and
further inland where you can find pretty villages, old chapels and
lovely views.
“The Blavet makes many meanders to find its way to the Atlantic,
biding a while for the pleasure of the river folk. You will see
it slowly go around a wooded hill, tumble over a weir, become impatient
between lock gates, carry the barges of the forges of Hennebont,
quench the thirst of the horses of the National Stud; play with
the young canoeists of Lochrist, reflect the gothic spires of the
Chapel of St Nicodemus, grasp the springs of St Adrien and nourish
pike; trout and salmon.
The Blavet, the river that forges a link between Merlin and Poseidon.”
