We head to the fortified town of Dinan. One of the oldest medieval towns in Brittany, it is characterised by cobbled streets, beautiful half-timbered houses and stunning Romanesque and Gothic architecture. We continue to Saint-Malo, where many of the town’s historical sights are within the walls of the Old Town. Be sure to explore the Place Chateaubriand, which is lined with bars and cafes. We later reach Vannes and our hotel for four nights.

Spend a leisurely day In Vannes. Explore the maze of streets, ramparts and cathedral in the charming old town. The bordering Morbihan Gulf, providing scenic views, is a landlocked sea scattered with numerous islands.

Join us on our optional excursion to visit two jewels of South Brittany. We head first to Carnac, and later continue to the popular seaside resort of Quiberon, long a favoured resort of the Bretons.

Our included excursion takes us first to the historic walled town of Concarneau. Enjoy a stroll around the old part of town with it ancient ramparts and discover the charm of this pretty fishing port. We later head to the town of Quimper, with its half-timbered houses and impressive cathedral.

We leave Vannes and head to the imposing Mont St. Michel, one of France’s most iconic attractions. Legend has it that the abbey was founded in the 8th century when the Bishop of Avranches was visited by the Archangel Michael in a dream. The island has retained its medieval appearance and character, encircled by historical walls and ramparts. Continue to the Rouen or Amiens area for an overnight stay.
