Church at Guenrouet

A short stage today. We went into Redon for the morning market and lunch, then left our family as we cycled along the canal to Guenrouet where we were staying at another gite d'etapes. This church was in the centre of the town, it was built in the 40s as the original was destroyed during the Liberation of France in 1944, the inside has some stunning coloured glass windows which we'll have a look at in the morning on our way back to the canal.

The canal is quite different here, it's flowing across flat mash as opposed to cutting though granite hills. The problem here wasn't cutting the rock, rather containing the river level as it soaks out evenly into the marshes.
