Vannes is an ancient town in the region of Brittany, the tourism center. The town is beautiful, but very crowded. We started our walk from the harbor.

To the left there is an underground car parking, but it was full, so we parked on the free parking here.

We included Vannes into our route after we found on the internet a photo of a beautiful park and palace. Old city walls are well preserved and while walking along them you will see the park and palace Château Gaillard (history museum) and a former castle Château de l'Ermin.

Historical quarter of Saint-Patern has half-timbered houses of XV-XVI centuries. Unlike Germany, here they are colored.

There are a lot of different installations located in the small back streets. No idea what they mean.

One more interesting thing - postcards with a sailor who trolls travelers in Brittany. Mainly due to the weather. Well, at least during our visit, he did not have a chance :)
