Vannes

Vannes: its old port, its paved streets, its ramparts.

Vannes is a fortified city located in the region of Brittany, in the northwest of France. Its old town is characterised by narrow cobbled streets and medieval gates. In the centre, the Saint-Pierre de Vannes cathedral combines Romanesque and Gothic styles, while the Place des Lices is lined with colourful half-timbered houses. To the south, the port has restaurants and boats offering cruises in the Gulf of Morbihan.
