Vannes: A Journey through Time in the Heart of Brittany
Vannes, a picturesque town in Morbihan, is a medieval gem that attracts many visitors every year to explore its rich heritage. With its well-preserved ramparts, cobbled streets and half-timbered houses, Vannes offers a fascinating dive into the history of medieval Brittany, all in an idyllic setting on the shores of the Gulf of Morbihan.
The Medieval City of Vannes
A visit to Vannes often begins with its impressive ramparts, some of the best preserved in Brittany. These fortifications surround the historic heart of the town and lead to the Porte Saint-Vincent, which opens onto a maze of narrow streets lined with historic buildings. Strolling through the Saint-Patern district, the oldest in Vannes, you'll discover craft shops, charming cafés and ancient buildings that tell the story of centuries of history.
Monuments and Museums
Vannes is also famous for its Saint-Pierre cathedral, a must-see monument that combines Romanesque and Gothic architectural elements. Not far away, the Musée de la Cohue, Vannes' fine arts museum, offers a rich collection of works ranging from Antiquity to contemporary art. For a more immersive experience, the Château de l'Hermine, former residence of the Dukes of Brittany, immerses visitors in the elegance of ducal life.
Vannes Market and Local Gastronomy
The Vannes market is another must-see, especially on Wednesday and Saturday mornings. The stalls are overflowing with local produce: fresh seafood, Breton crêpes, local cider, and the famous goat's cheese, Pélardon. It's a perfect opportunity to sample the flavours of the region and meet local producers.
