Vannes

Vannes sits on the Gulf of Morbihan in Brittany, where coastal flatness gives way to rolling moorland just inland. Cyclists here favor the local randonnées through bocage terrain—the Randonnée de l'Écureuil near Saint-Nolff (47km) and longer routes like the Randonnée Sterhuen (70km) toward Monterblanc offer steady climbs and rural Breton lanes. Runners stick to the flat gulf-side paths and occasional parkrun circuits, though the region's appeal is genuinely cyclocentric, with island routes like Le Tour de Houat (19km) and the famous 24 Heures de Ploeren drawing serious gravel and road riders from across the region.
