Ferry trips to islands in the Baie de Quiberon such as Brittany`s largest, Belle -Île, or day trips to the region`s numerous beaches and picturesque fishing ports are only some of the things to do and see in the area. The Morbihan is peppered with megalithic sites, the most famous of which is Carnac within an easy drive of the château, considered one of the world`s most important prehistoric sites with over 3,000 menhirs and an excellent museum, Musée de Préhistoire. Nearby is the medieval town of Josselin and its Château de Josselin dating from 1407, as well as Vannes, a city steeped in history as far back as 56 BC when Caesar`s troops defeated its Armorican tribe and where you can visit the medieval streets around rue de la Monnaie, the 13th century Cathédrale St-Pierre, or the 15th century Château Gaillard housing the Musée d`Archéologie du Morbihan. However you choose to spend your days -- enjoying the peace and splendor of the château or venturing out to see all that the Morbihan has to offer -- you will long remember Brittany`s south with great fondness. Your host, Jean-Pol Soulaine, is waiting to share his dream with you. |
