Redon
The visitors berths have been moved from the main basin to a new pontoon on port hand just outside the entrance to the basin. It is a long walk to the capitainerie which is in a wharehouse on the starboard side of the main basin.
The fuel berth has also been moved out of the main basin and is now on a separate pontoon also on the port side of the channel about 500 metres from the basin entrance
If heading for Redon the swing bridge at Cran may require notice. https://www.lavilaine.com/index.php/fr/horaire-cran
There are holding buoys either side of the bridge.
There is a free, unserviced, pontoon at Beganne 1km from the village and a reasonably priced, serviced pontoon at the campsite near Rieux.
