Several routes are available to you: departing from the port of Dinan, follow the Rance then take the old railway line towards Dinard / Saint-Malo.

On the other side of the port of Dinan, the southern part of the greenway which joins Evran separates at the Bétineuc pond. The EV42 continues along the Ille-et-Rance canal until reaching Arzal via Rennes and above the Vilaine river. This is our favorite part of the greenway for taking the most beautiful photos of this lush nature. A real postcard! 🗺️

And for the more adventurous, the EV42 greenway crosses Redon, a stage of the Vélodyssée. A route to absolutely take if you want to cycle to the Atlantic coast! This is our favorite stop! 😉
