While we were in Vannes we couldn’t park at the Halles des Lices and being one-way the only way out was through the narrow Porte de Poterne and across the even narrower bridge to the main road. Wonderful. Not only was there cheap parking on the Rue Francis Decker but we were suddenly looking at the magnificent ramparts of the city and the ramparts gardens. The ramparts are immense and leave you a little in awe especially trying to visualise what they were like in their heyday. A fraction of the original is still intact and consist of a large section of the battlement walls, two magnificent towers, four arched entrances (portes) and the Chateau de l’Hermine. It is a must to walk the length of the walls and take in the views of the gardens and the town. They act a great viewing platform for photographs. Definitely recommended.

Wonderful. Not only was there cheap parking on the Rue Francis Decker but we were suddenly looking at the magnificent ramparts of the city and the ramparts gardens. The views from the road and especially from the bridge are awesome, the gardens are so well kept with a small river flowing through the gardens. One access to the gardens is steps from the bridge and at the bottom you pass old half-timbered buildings of the “Lavoirs de la Garenne (washrooms)” right on the river and from the little covered walkway there is the view of a brilliant set of sluice gates on the river under the bridge. It was very easy to spending a couple of hours wandering up and down the gardens especially as it was a sunny day and the flowers and trees were in bloom.

Conleau is a small peninsular of the headland and has one small beach that is worth a visit. Can get crowded in the high season. The area is rather exclusive so expect meals and drinks to be on the expensive side.

In an exceptional site, on the side of the Gulf of Morbihan, the aquarium of Vannes accomodates hundreds of fish species from the whole waters of the world. During the French school holidays, do not miss our demonstrations (feeding...)
Reviewed By sunshine0386 - Bracknell, United Kingdom
Nice aquarium, comfortable to walk around, good selection of tanks and fish. Crocodile was great to see. Only feedback is that the glass could have been a little cleaner on the inside so we could see her better. Apart from that it was a great visit with our 16 month old baby. Thank you!
