Redon

Redon sits at the junction of three departments, positioned where the Oust and Vilaine rivers meet, creating a strategic location for maritime trade and transportation.

The establishment of a monastery by Conwoion in 832 CE marked the beginning of Redon's development, leading to the construction of fortified walls during the 14th century.

The Saint-Sauveur Abbey stands as a primary architectural monument in Redon, reflecting the medieval religious heritage through its preserved Romanesque and Gothic elements.

The town maintains strong educational facilities, accommodating approximately 1,000 post-baccalaureate students and offering connected campus programs for higher education.

Redon operates a sustainable wood heating system that utilizes communal hedge resources, demonstrating an innovative approach to local energy management.
