This is a very interesting place to visit. Plenty of information in English is available 👍 We visited on a Wednesday pm in September and it was fairly quiet. We cycled over from St Malo, you can't use the main road, but there is a designated cycle route! However we went out one way (through the park) and back via a different one (alongside the main road) both have some very uneven and steep climbs involved! I'm not sure how they can be classed as cycle routes when they almost seem like off road mountain bike trails! But it is doeable 👍

BEWARE!! If you are canoeing or kayaking up the Rance on a low tide the dam causes substantial TIDAL WAVES.this is most dangerous when you reach La Hisse,where the first lock gate begins,the mudbanks will be 12 feet above you and there is no way out.I canoed this and barely survived.

Le site est à voir, c'est quand même unique en France. Pour les enfants, ont peut voir à chaque heures l'ouverture d'une écluse et éventuellement la levée du pont. Pour ce qui est de l'usine on ne voit pas le turbinage et c'est dommage, le parcours découverte permet d'avoir un aperçu des différents modes de production, l'histoire de la construction et de voir la galerie de maintenance (peu intéressant). La communication d'EDF pour visiter est très médiocre (tel qui ne répond pas, réservation des visites guidées pas évidentes), la visite est gratuite, cela explique peut-être... A savoir : on se gare sur le parking à l'entrée, il y a des visites guidées sur réservation le matin et des visites libres l'après midi.

Not only is the hydroelectric dam or barrage located between two great towns, Saint Malo and Dinard, the local Bretons are great too. They will stop and chat if you make the effort. The only negative: EdF, the operator on the barrage have kept the dredging of the 15 mile lond estuary trapped by their barrage to the absolute minimum. Which means that for over fifty years one of theost beautiful estuaries in France if not Europe has been sacrificed to save pennies. This is still a superb and welcoming location, but one where being 'green' has sadly not been...

Dommage que 2.000 voitures soient bloquées pendant 15 minutes pour laisser passer....quoi d'ailleurs ? 2 zodiacs et un petit voilier (tant mieux pour eux et tant pis pour les 4.000 personnes (2 par voiture au bas mot X 2.000 voitures) qui doivent poireauter dans leur vehicule pendant que les "plaisanciers" passent pour vaquer à leurs occupations sûrement très importantes.

Ce truc n'a aucun sens, c'est stupide, sans aucune justification et je ne compte plus le nombre de gens que je connais qui ont loupés leur train à cause des monstrueux bouchons que cela crée. Il faut abolir cette pratique qui date d'une époque révolue et s'adapter me semble-t-il.

Le plus absurde : il n'y a pas de piste cyclable sécurisée sur ce barrage ni en montant la côte vers St Malo !

Si vous voulez traverser la Rance prenez des anxiolytiques et armez vous de beaucoup de courage.

Seuls les pêcheurs (qui n'ont d'ailleurs pas le droit d'être là) sont en sécurité sur un passage qui ferait une superbe piste cyclable bien...
