So, planning your itinerary seems easy enough, but the question is, where to stay?
We handpicked these listings carefully, considering (wherever possible) Superhost status, recent guest reviews, location, accommodation type, prices, availability of dates, decor, and amenities.

Port and Marina
Vannes has one of Europe’s most beautiful active ports which is just a stone throw from the centre and is close to the aquarium and the butterfly sanctuary. The marina was recently renovated but it hasn’t lost any of its historical charm with a long walkway stretching alongside and a backdrop of traditional townhouses and cafes throughout the stretch. Here you really get a feel of the old town mixing with the new developments. A word of warning, more redevelopment plans are scheduled in the near future so be sure to check before you travel.
