Just off the coast, a few tiny islands are well worth the boat trip across the sea, with Grand Bé, Petit Bé and Cézembre highly recommended.
Indeed the emerald coast is graced with several more gorgeous beaches, with many nestled against the backdrop of picturesque towns like Saint-Briac-sur-Mer, Dinard, Paramé and Saint-Lunaire.
Brittany is well known for its numerous fairy tale towns and villages, and the well-preserved medieval towns of Dinan certainly ranks among Ille-et-Vilaine’s best. The highlights of the town include Saint-Sauveur Church, Château de Dinan, Hôtel Keratry and browsing the artisan shops on the medieval streets of Rue du Jerzual.
Rennes, the capital of Brittany, ranks as one of the best cities to visit in the department due to cultural and historical attractions such as the Parlement de Bretagne, Parc du Thabor Public Gardens, Cathedral Saint-Pierre de Rennes and Manoir de Bourgchevreuil castle.
For history and heritage on a smaller scale, it’s a good plan to visit the chocolate box towns and villages of the region that burst with architectural prowess and amazing antiquity. Château de Fougères, teetering on a rocky outcrop is an alluring village of the region while the town of Vitré boasts the quintessential half-timbered houses that Brittany showcases so well.
