Vannes is a medieval town in Brittany with fortifications dating from the 13th century, including preserved walls, fortified gates, and towers. Saint-Pierre Cathedral, originally built in the 13th century and later modified, stands in the heart of the old town surrounded by half-timbered houses and cobbled streets. The Musée de la Cohue displays collections of regional art and history, while the Musée d'Histoire et d'Archéologie presents artifacts from Gaulish and Roman periods. The marina connects the town to the Gulf of Morbihan, a protected bay with more than 40 islands. Historic sites include the 14th-century Château de l'Hermine, once a ducal residence, and several religious buildings such as Église Saint-Patern. The Porte Saint-Vincent, a 17th-century city gate, leads to the center with squares like Place Henri IV and Place Gambetta. The Marché des Lices, a weekly market, takes place in the old town. Beyond the walls lie the Marais de Séné nature reserve with salt marshes and birdwatching stations, and Branféré animal park about 12 miles (20 km) away. Conleau beach provides access to the gulf, and boat tours by Vedettes du Golfe depart from the harbor.
