Taxi Redon → Vannes

The Redon to Vannes journey crosses the heart of inland Morbihan, linking the river town at the confluence of the Vilaine and the Oust to the Morbihan prefecture nestled at the head of the Gulf of Morbihan. Redon, a river crossroads where the navigable Vilaine and the Nantes-to-Brest canal intersect, retains a remarkable heritage from its medieval and modern commercial prosperity. The port of Redon, with its granite quays, converted warehouses and picturesque locks, testifies to the importance of river trade that made the town a link between inland Brittany and the Atlantic coast. The Saint-Sauveur Abbey, a 9th-century Romanesque jewel with its unique bell tower flanked by four turrets, overlooks a maze of medieval streets with colourful half-timbered houses. The journey to Vannes offers the chance to pass through or near Rochefort-en-Terre, voted France's favourite village in 2016 and regularly ranked among the most beautiful villages in Brittany. Vannes, the destination, is one of Brittany's most attractive cities with its perfectly preserved ramparts, lively marina and direct access to the Gulf of Morbihan, that inland sea dotted with forty-two islands, ranked among the world's most beautiful bays.
