Vannes and its mediaval town

Vannes is a striking city : much of its long history is echoed in its well preserved monuments and humbler buildings whilst modernity has been skillfully integrated . Its quays are lined with seafood restaurants and sunny café terraces where you will indulge in farniente . There are events throughout the summer, exhibitions, historical fêtes, the open air jazz festival, the Fêtes d’Arvor and various concerts to please everyone’s taste. The “capital” of Morbihan is a “must see”.
