Day Trips – Vannes

Nestled at the end of the Gulf of Morbihan, Vannes has been a maritime political and commercial center for more than 2000 years. Known to the Romans as Darioritum, it was here that Cesar capped his conquest of Gaul. Vannes is also the site where the treaty linking the duchy Brittany to the kingdom of France was signed.

Today, Vannes is a lively port town and commercial center that has successfully maintained its medieval character within the ramparts of the old walled city.
