Ti War An Dour : Spend memorable vacation in our original accommodation on the water.
We offer you the opportunity to take a unique vacation aboard our unusual floating accommodations. Our concept is brand new: you will sleep in our houseboats on the Nantes-Brest Canal, which is an open body of water. Thus, you will live with the neighboring fauna.
Located in the heart of Brittany, near the mysterious Brocéliande forest, our houseboats are fully equipped for a comfortable stay. By following the towpath you will be able to discover the touristic area, starting with the lovely medieval city of Josselin known for its chateau.
You can also have a different view of the canal with our electric boats. You will enjoy a charming tour on the Oust river. The engine of the boats are totally quiet so you can contemplate the nature and the beautiful classified monuments along the canal. Last but not least, have a full fluvial experience by passing through locks !
From hiking to cycling : Ideal vacation for Nature Lovers !
Are you hiking enthusiasts? Whether you prefer walking or riding, you will have a large choice of trails surrounding our houseboats. At your service, you can rent our electric bikes and follow the towpath to explore the different cycling routes nearby.
Ti War An Dour on TV
On May 24th 2018, our unusual houseboats had been put under the spotlight of TF1, one of the main French TV channels. The edition was part of a coverage series about life on the water.
It was with great pleasure that we welcomed the film crew at the edge of the Oust River where the houseboats are established. We hope that this clip will inspire you to come and live this new experience on the water…
We would like to thank the whole crew from TF1 as well as our (very nice) guests who genuinely played along !

Why we created floating cottages in Brittany
Some projects begin with an idea.
Others begin with a life journey.
From the very beginning of their life together, Eddy and Nadia had this deep desire to build a place that would have meaning. A place where people could discover Brittany in a different way.
And so, Ti War An Dour was born!
For Eddy, commitment has always been a given
Very early on, a career in the military became his calling.
After passing the entrance exams for all three branches of the French army, he ultimately chose Land forces and the 1st Spahis Regiment, continuing a family tradition deeply rooted in his Breton heritage.
For nearly twenty years, his career focused primarily on overseas operations and fieldwork.
A demanding commitment, marked by responsibility, combat operations, and pushing beyond one’s limits, was recognized notably with the award of the Cross of Military Valor and the National Order of the Military Medal.
Over the years, a conviction grew: to continue building something useful, engaging, and deeply human.
Entrepreneurship then became a new way to serve: he launched the Ti War An Dour project.
Nadia, for her part, has always moved forward with passion and high standards.
Her career began in Toulouse, where she earned a Ph.D. in pulmonary biology with teams at the French National Institute of Health and Medical Research (Inserm).
She then went on to work as a research engineer at Inserm in Paris before moving to Brittany and entering the world of entrepreneurship.
From day one, Nadia has been one of the pillars of Ti War An Dour, bringing her meticulousness, sensitivity, and ability to turn ideas into reality to the project.
And then one day, a simple idea was born
Nadia : “There was a time, we loved spending our weekends discovering unique accommodations. But we were always looking for the same thing: to have a unique experience… without sacrificing comfort. That’s how houses on the water became the obvious choice.
The calm, the silence, the gentle movement of the water, that immediate sense of peace. Little by little, a shared vision took shape: to create a place in Brittany capable of offering this respite to others.”
Showcasing Brittany our way
Eddy : “With Ti War An Dour, we wanted to share a more intimate, natural, and authentic side of Brittany. A Brittany you can discover in a different way: aboard a houseboat, at the helm of an electric boat, or riding an electric bike—but always against the stunning backdrop of the Nantes-Brest Canal ! A Brittany where you can finally slow down. This commitment to promoting the region through innovative and sustainable tourism has been supported by the Brittany Region and recognized by the Marque Bretagne label. A real source of pride for me. Because, at its core, Ti War An Dour is above all a way to express our deep attachment to Brittany we love so dearly. And today, every traveler who leaves feeling at peace reminds us why this adventure began.”
