Taxi Rennes → Vannes
Your Rennes → Vannes transfer at €220–€270. 115 km via the N24.
A taxi between Rennes and Vannes costs between €220 and €270 when booked in advance at a fixed price, over a road distance of about 115 kilometres and a journey time of from 75 to 95 minutes depending on traffic. The usual route takes N24 then N166, with no tolls (Breton expressway). A van for up to seven passengers starts at €350. That price includes luggage, tolls and the driver's approach, and it does not move if traffic builds up: that is the difference with a metered ride, where every minute of waiting is charged and the applicable rate depends on the hour. On an unbooked ride, the amount follows the scale of the prefectoral order applying where the passenger is picked up, higher from seven in the evening to ten in the morning as well as on Sundays and public holidays. The driver tracks the flight or train number given at booking and shifts the pick-up at no extra cost if it is delayed, and cancelling remains free up to six hours before departure.

Vannes is a city of art and history with incomparable charm, situated at the entrance to the Gulf of Morbihan — this 'little inland sea' dotted with 42 islands and islets that is one of France's most beautiful natural sites. The medieval old town, enclosed by ramparts and towers, contains colourful half-timbered houses, Saint-Pierre Cathedral (13th-19th century), the flowered rampart gardens and the famous 'Vannes et sa femme' carved couple on a façade. The marina, right in the town centre, hosts hundreds of sailboats and offers a lively setting of restaurants and bars. Vannes is the departure point for Gulf of Morbihan cruises: trips to Île aux Moines and Île d'Arz, seabird watching and oyster farm discovery. The city is also a hub for reaching Carnac's megalithic alignments, Quiberon and Belle-Île-en-Mer. Taxis from Rennes are popular with tourists, yachtsmen, conference delegates and families holidaying in the Gulf.

Tips & best practices
Specific tips for the Rennes → Vannes route
The Gulf of Morbihan is Vannes' great attraction: cruises depart from Vannes harbour (Navix, €15-25, 1h-3h) to discover Île aux Moines (the largest, with a charming village) and Île d'Arz. Book ahead in summer. The old town is walkable in 2h: the wash-houses, cathedral, ramparts and fortified gates are remarkable. Vannes market (Wednesday and Saturday mornings, Place des Lices) is a feast: Gulf oysters, pink shrimp, cider, buckwheat crepes. For oysters, head to the fish market (Quai Éric-Tabarly) or directly to Séné oyster farmers (5 km). The Gulf is also a sea-kayaking paradise — several operators offer guided paddles among the islands. The Forest of Brocéliande (on the route) deserves half a day: Barenton Fountain, Val sans Retour, Golden Tree.
