Vannes

The coach dropped us between the harbour and the archway leading into the town, and in the light drizzle we chose the town.  There were many pretty timber framed houses, as we made our way up hill to St. Peter's cathedral at the top of the hill.
The cathedral had many fine paintings.  There were chapels the full length of each wall, some with ornate altars, and most with one or two paintings of bible scenes, and stained glass windows. There was no guide or explanation as to what they represented or who they were by. There was an ambulatory and further chapels behind the main altar.
Opposite the cathedral west entrance was a city museum, but sadly it was closed. In fact many shops were closed, which is fairly normal on Mondays.  There were shops selling gifts and biscuits, and a nice patisserie, so that was good.
Next to the harbour there was some exhibition space, and beyond that was the tourist information office. We looked at leaflets about dinghy and yaught hire, and boat trips.  That's when we discovered that the region around Vannes is called Morbihan, and that the gulf of Morbihan is quite remarkable as a sizeable sea almost cut off with a relatively small straits leading to the Atlantic. It seems an ideal place for sailing.
After we left Vannes we went onto Quiberon
