The Nantes-Brest Canal is a must-see in France for travelers and photographers alike. The 106-mile long canal, located in central Brittany, connects two of France’s most beautiful cities: Nantes and Brest. It was built between 1817 and 1858, and its banks feature numerous locks, aqueducts, bridges, and tunnels. One of the highlights is the spectacular Ponte Pedonale (“pedestrian bridge”). This historic structure, opened in 1828, spans the canal and offers stunning views of the surrounding countryside. Photographers will be delighted by the many opportunities for dramatic shots of the bridge, the canal, and its stunning natural surroundings. Along the way, travelers can explore the many traditional villages, small chateaus, and countryside churches that line the canal. With its rich history and spectacular scenery, the Nantes-Brest Canal should not be missed.
