My second trip to Brittany this year :-)
I had not yet explored the southern part of Brittany, and Vannes area was truly amazing! A little more difficult to explore by foot as compared to Paimpol for instance, but the travel efforts were definitely worth it. The ancient ramparts especially were impressive: Vannes has preserved most of its fortifications, which started to be built in the third century.

It's a place I've wanted to visit for a long time now, yet never found the opportunity to do so. I love medieval cities and villages, with their timeless atmosphere.
ReplyDeleteI admire you for visiting it alone. I don't like travelling alone, I guess I like having someone to talk to, eat with, and share memories with. But who knows, once I (at last) have my driving licence, I may start day-tripping ;)
