The historic town of Vannes, former seat of Brittany’s Parliament, has managed to keep the most important remnants of its rich history. The battlements, with their washhouses on the edge of the moats, the Cathedral, the Cohue and the Museums rub shoulders with flower-filled parks.
The Parc du Golfe is home to the aquarium, the ferry terminal for tours of the Gulf, the butterfly garden, the “Captain for a day" museum, the bowling alley and so on…. all unforgettable leisure activities.
To discover the old town of Vannes, the heritage initiatives department organises guided tours for adults and children, in the daytime, at night and on special themes.
