Historical Vannes

Vannes preserves an extensive architectural legacy within its medieval core. The city's fortifications, built between the 3rd and 17th centuries, surround a network of timber-framed houses and granite mansions. Key sites include the Saint-Pierre Cathedral, the 19th-century Town Hall, and the 'Vannes and his Wife' stone carving. Cultural highlights are found at the Château-Gaillard archaeological museum and the La Cohue Fine Arts Museum, housed in a former medieval market hall.
