If you enjoy walking, the shores of the Quiberon Peninsula are a must.

Vannes

Vannes is a 20 min drive and  is one of Southern Brittany’s key tourist towns. Modern Vannes is a thriving community but it’s the old walled town of Vieux Vannes that is of particular interest to visitors. Its focal point is Porte St-Vincent, which houses a busy little square at the northern end of the long canalized port. Once inside Vannes’s ramparts, the old town is mostly pedestrianised and charms visitors with its quaint streets around the cathedral.

Things to see and do in Vannes include the Musee Archeologique, said to have one of the world’s finest collections of pre-historic artefacts, and Vannes’ modern aquarium in the Parc du Golfe claims to have the best collection of tropical fish in Europe including a Nile crocodile found in the Paris sewers in 1984 that shares its tank with a group of piranhas.
