Vannes warranted our due respect and a longer stay. A haven for the artist, Vannes manages to mix the modern with the medieval on its` palette and the outcome is a near perfect picture.

The ramparts still hold sway over the old town, its` streets and half timbered buildings, that are dominated by the Cathedral St. Pierre, which makes a visit to Vannes worthy all on its` own.

The city has an abundance of magnificent architecture  along with the famous Wash House and the beautiful gardens of Castle De L`Hermine , along with a multitude of other treasures. The timeless squares and quarters, monuments and museums and excellent French cuisine to give a taste of just a few.

We loved it all and also simply sitting enjoying a Café Creme Grande  at a Tabac or café, watching the people and being immersed in a Vannes content within its` own skin. See for yourself, you won`t regret it.

Today was good news all round.Mum was told that the hospital does not want to see her for 3 months!
