Thanks to its position at the head of the Golfe de Morbihan, VANNES , 20 km east of Auray, is southern Brittany's major tourist town. Modern Vannes is such a large and thriving community that the small size of the old walled town at its core, Vieux Vannes , may well come as a surprise. Its focal point, the old gateway of the Porte St-Vincent , commands a busy little square at the northern end of the long canalized port that provides access to the gulf itself. Once inside the ramparts, the old centre of chaotic streets - crammed around the cathedral, and enclosed by gardens and a tiny stream - is largely pedestrianized, in refreshing contrast to the somewhat insane road system beyond.
