Hire a car in Vannes with Hertz
In Brittany is the Roman town of Vannes, a North-west French commune that draws in many tourists due to its picturesque landscape, exceptional architecture, and varied history. Since as early as 56BC the town has been shaped and moulded to suit the needs of each period, from a sign of victory after beating Veneti, to its urban development in the 19th century. When visiting it's worth hiring a car in Vannes to help you move about more freely, and at your own pace - our branch can help out you back behind the wheel during your visit, and ensure you get to know the town on a more intimate level.
If you want to experience a true architectural wonder, rent a car in Vannes and visit the magnificent structure of the Cathedrale Saint Pierre. Located a short three minute drive within the town centre, it delivers a stunning display of stone and stained glass, that took over 600 years to complete. Hiring a car in Vannes also enables you to stop by the local beach and enjoy some time taking in the sun and sea air. Conleau Beach, found a few miles out of the city, and roughly an eight minute drive, is a lovely spot to grab a light lunch and enjoy the scenery.
