Route Map

Rail Travel

Outward: St Pancras International station, change stations in Paris, arrive Vannes TGV early evening

Return: Vannes TGV to Paris Montparnasse, change stations in Paris, arrive St Pancras International late afternoon.

  • Day 1 Arrival Vannes
    • Arrive early evening at the lovely walled town of Vannes. Take a walk around the narrow cobbled streets and enjoy the sunset from the attractive marina. Stay 2 nights at the comfortable 2-star Golfe Hôtel in the centre of Vannes.
  • Day 2 Presqu’île de Moustérain - 8 miles (12.8km)
    • Starting from the hotel, you will discover the Presqu’île de Moustérain. After a short crossing to the Presqu’île de Conleau you will then return along the pretty coastal path to your hotel.
  • Day 3 Vannes to Port Navalo - 5 miles (8km)
    • Take the ferry to Port Navalo and discover the two faces of the presqu’île: the ocean and the gulf. A walk along the Atlantic coast, on a rocky promontory, open to the elements and in lush natural surroundings, will lead you to the archaeological site of the Petit Mont. A magical walk for a breath of fresh sea air! Stay 2 nights at the Hôtel le Crouesty.
  • Day 4 Circuit walk of the Pointes du Golfe - 9 miles (14.4km)
    • Spectacular panoramic views of the Gulf and its islands on this coastal circuit walk which takes you to the Point de Bilgroix, Kerners, and Penbert.
  • Day 5 L’Ile d’Arz - 9 miles (14.4km)
    • At the start of a free day, ferry to the Ile d’Arz, the second largest island in the Gulf. The island is small enough to be explored on foot, the total combined distance around the island on the coastal path is about 10 miles. Stay 2 nights at the Hôtel l’Escale en Arz.
  • Day 6 L’Ile-aux Moines - 10 miles (16km)
    • Ferry across to the Ile-aux-Moines for the day, the largest of all the Gulf islands and nicknamed ‘La Perle du Golfe’ perhaps due to the wild mimosas and camellias which are abundant along the rural tracks and coastal paths - the white sandy beaches are never far away since the island is long and thin. Return to your hotel on Ile d’Arz
  • Day 7 Return ferry to mainland
    • Take a mid-day ferry back to Vannes and enjoy the afternoon exploring one of the prettiest towns in Brittany thanks to its cobbled streets and numerous colombage (half-timbered houses). Last night at the Golfe Hôtel.
