Simon LE LARGE
Such a cute experience! Have been on the train every year I have been to France since I was a little girl 🥰
Laura Fitch
A great little walk right in the heart of Vannes' tourist center. The commentary is excellent, and the children's route along Canal 21 makes it interesting for little ones.
Nadine POTIER
A good option for a quick visit to Vannes and its city center. The driver was excellent, as some streets are very narrow. It's very helpful for finding the monuments you want to see.
Gorce Romain
A lovely little train that goes everywhere, even through the narrow streets of old Vannes! A must-do when you're in Vannes 😄 The driver is friendly. Headphones are available to listen to the guided tour in many different languages. Departure from the Port and then just let yourself be guided!
