Pontivy, a town between castle and canal in Brittany
Welcome to Pontivy, a Breton town with a fascinating history, where the traces of the Dukes of Rohan and Napoleon mingle with the Nantes-Brest canal. With its medieval castle and river atmosphere, Pontivy is an authentic destination in Morbihan.
A heritage marked by two eras
Pontivy is unique in Brittany, as it bears the marks of two distinct periods: the Middle Ages, with the Rohan castle, an imposing 15th-century fortress, and the Napoleonic era, which transformed the city into an administrative center with straight avenues. Take advantage of a visit to the castle to enjoy a breathtaking view of the city and the Blavet Valley.
A natural setting ideal for sailing and walking
Pontivy is crossed by the Nantes-Brest canal, a haven of calm perfect for a walk or bike ride along the locks. Embark on one of the electric boats to discover the city from the water and observe the old lock keepers' houses.
Breton gastronomy to be enjoyed by the water
Pontivy's crêperies offer authentic buckwheat pancakes accompanied by Breton cider, and charcuterie lovers will appreciate the andouille de Guémené, a must-try in the region.
