Brittany's Green Ways - guide
This handy, spiral bound guide has all the practical information you need for planning a cycle tour across Brittany using the Green Way network of converted former railways and canal towpaths.
The first two editions (2010 and 2014) established Brittany's Green Ways as essential reading for off-road cycle-touring in Brittany. This 3rd (2016) updated edition includes information on later developments of the Green Way network.
The Blavet canal from Pontivy to Hennebont and the Green Way from Ploërmel to Messac are now mapped and described in detail. The completion of the V7 to Concarneau and of the V8 route on the Morbihan portion of the Rigole d’Hilvern (both occurring in 2016) - are noted and their implications assessed so that readers will be able to take them into account when route planning. The listing of ‘other cycle routes’ also includes some newcomers.

Publisher's note (2020): Most of the Nantes-Brest canal has only recently been upgraded to an official Green Way so was only summarized in Brittany's Green Ways. However, the Nantes-Brest canal has had its own Red Dog guide since 2007. This is now in its 4th edition (2020) and also available in French.
