Malestroit is on the
Nantes-Brest canal, which is no longer completely navigable. However, the section through the town is over 200 km long, and barges moor up near the centre of Malestroit. It is possible to hire a boat to explore the waterway. The nearby village of
Saint-Marcel houses a museum dedicated to the Breton Resistance movement where a battle against the Nazis took place and was won by the Resistance fighters. ==Twinning==
