The only French department to carry a Breton name, the Morbihan, also known as the small sea", has a vast coastline of a great variety. Situated in southern Brittany, it is notably renowned for its magnificent Gulf to the islands And rocky peninsulas with sandy beaches.

Town of Art and History, Vannes is located in the heart of the gulf. A territory controlled for a long time by the Veneti, the Romans founded the town of Darioritum, ancestor of Vannes, after a victory in 56 BC. J-C. Facing this people of Celtic Gaul. In the 5th century, after the fall of the Roman empire, the commune takes on medieval airs that are found today in its ramparts, perfectly preserved. Over the centuries, it gained importance gradually. It was in Vannes that the Dukes of Brittany lived until the signing of the Treaty of Union between Brittany and France in 1532. Now its origins are to be discovered in Le Ker park. Dive into the heart of the Breton history in an immersive journey from prehistory to the arrival of the Romans. Relive the Battle of the Venetians as if you were there in a 4D projection on dynamic seats. Once overcome by its emotions, do not miss the Aquarium of Vannes to admire, in a calm and relaxing atmosphere, the innumerable species that populate the Gulf of Morbihan... And much more ! The aquarium also hosts colorful species from the tropical seas and rivers of Latin America. And, little surprise, you can even see a crocodile of the Nile...

A few kilometers to the northwest, then go to Lorient, famous modern port city. Its maritime history began in 1666 when the Compagnie des Indes moved to the port of Saint-Louis. In addition to becoming a hub of international trade, it also became a military port and developed very rapidly until the Second World War, during which it became the underwater base of the German occupation and was destroyed By the bombing of the Allies. Rebuilt at the end of the war, the eventful past of Lorient is found today through two sites impossible to circumvent. The Museum of the Company of the Indies (located in the citadel of Port Louis) makes you discover the history of the international maritime trade and, on the peninsula of Keroman, the base of submarines of Lorient Keroman : succession of immense bunkers dating from the beginning of the 40s and classified "Patrimony of the 20 th century".

Finally, Lorient has also celebrated for over forty years a heritage that goes beyond its own origins. Organized every year in August, the Interceltic Festival of Lorient is the major cultural event of the Celtic lands. Concerts, gastronomy, cinema... the life bubbles day and night during 10 days during which there are national and international artists.
