The village also benefits from an outdoor swimming pool. A unique experience, the heated outdoor pool is situated next to the beautiful Abbey and is open all year round.

It certainly is a wellness break in an exceptional setting!
How about taking a stroll or cycle along the towpath next to the River Rance? There is nothing better than taking in the wonderful sights along the towpath which takes you directly into the beautiful port of Dinan. Walk, jog, cycle, the choice is yours!
It takes approximately 25 minutes on foot. Once you have taken in all the charm that Lehon has to offer, you will pass over the old bridge which was constructed sometime between the fifteenth and sixteenth century, on the site of a ford that existed on the Rance and allowed the ancient Rennes-Corseul way to cross the river.
Following the towpath towards Dinan, you will see a large garden which is part of the grounds of St. Magloire Abbey in Léhon. You will also catch sight of Le Bourg and the outdoor pool, before passing the lock which is still in continual use, particularly with pleasure boats that run from Dinan
