I spent as much or maybe more time than in my domicile town. Not only worked in its outskirts and go in for quick trips and meals, but the family comes here on every break and weekends. Vannes or Gwened (Breton) is in my beautiful Morbihan (Breton for Petite Mer or small sea) dept 56 of my lovely Bretagne or Breizh (Breton) and in my belle France or Bro-C’hall (Breton) . I was by there again today ,and got me new pictures of this beautiful City , worth the detour me think, Le me tell you about curiosities of Vannes, part XIX !!!   Hope you enjoy the post as I.

This is the Avenue Maréchal de Lattre de Tassigny , a long avenue along the canal to look a leisure beautiful lawn and along the canal with interesting architecture such as at no 34 , house build retire from the front sidewalk with a big garden in the 2^nd quarter of the 20C, And others nicely shown in picture, By here you find the Bureau de tourisme de Vannes or tourist office of Vannes, and a new Carrefour City supermarket at no 22.

The rue du Port was mentioned from the 14C, whose houses then housed merchants in the activity linked to the port. In the second half of the 17C, the arrival of the Parliament of Brittany in Vannes led to the reconstruction, for the nobility, but also for wealthy merchants, of some of the old houses. The irregular layout of this street in its southern part is rectified during the alignment plan of 1840 ; it will only be applied to two houses in the center of the street and to the house located at the southern end. The houses occupy the west side of the street, the east side being bordered by the Promenade de la Rabine. Most of the houses are established on crossing plots of medieval origin between rue du Port and rue du Drézen.

The impecable Promenade de la Rabine located on the right bank of the port, the Promenade de la Rabine is made up of a long alley of trees that stretches for nearly 800 meters between the port esplanade and the north and the quays of the commercial port to the south. The term rabine is of Breton origin, it means “alley planted with trees”.
