The City of Vannes dates from the first century B.C. when it was known as Darioritum and like many of the important Breton towns the original "old town" is situated within the fortified city walls. Large sections of the ramparts still remain and walking around these offers exceptional views of the town. At the centre of the old town lies the cathedral whose construction was started in the 13th century. Among the many sites to see within the walls is the Morbihan Archaeological Museum which gives a fascinating insight into early settlements in Brittany with examples from excavations at the many megalithic sites such as Carnac.  Situated at the head of the Gulf of Morbihan, Vannes has a large port area. The visitor is free to meander around the port simply looking at the boats or may take one of the many boat excursions on offer.  Vannes has a good selection of restaurants and shops and the tourist office runs themed tours of the town throughout the year. In the countryside around Vannes there are a number of castles and nature reserves where the visitor can pass a pleasant time in the calm surroundings.
