A small, fortified city on an island at Concarneau. We arrived at low tide, and left as the tide returned. You can walk part of the ramparts but only one ruined tower. Inside, the city consists of essentially 3 streets--1 main thoroughfare & two streets along the castle walls. Most of the buildings are restaurants and clothing or souvenir shops. A lovely view of the bay can be seen on 2 sides, while the other sides show the adjoining town. Historical signs are few & in French only. We visited on a market day, so parking was a pain. We finally found spots about a mile away. Stop on the castle walls side for a less crowded lunch. A photo opp outside L'Amiral for Magritte & Dupin mystery fans. It's free to enter the close.

Very crowdy and full of shops more or less interesting. A walk around the walls is your best option to admire the port, sea and city.

Lovely, beautiful ancient place to walk around. Plenty of places to sit and drink or eat.

Fantastic historic old city, we have visited 3 times in the last 20 years and are never disappointed. I can recommend the restaurant Le Penfret

Well maintained tourist and historical venue. Views from the rampart are great looking backwards the central part of the village.

Arrive early to access parking. You can spend hours in the many boutique shops within the walls. It is like a Tardis with a lot more inside than you would have thought. Lots of shops, Cafes, and a Museum all within the walls. Enjoy the Celtic Bretagne folk music that is often played within the walls. Outside the town has many attractions too with lovely waterfront Restaurants and seafront walks. Fab place to visit.

Great day out, gets busy, many shops restaurants inside walls. Lots parking outside.

The fort itself is pretty cool, definitely worth a visit. I found the history to be even more exciting though! 4/5 stars because there is not that much to see/do.

We enjoyed the boat tour and appreciated that the guide book had English wording. The trip could be enhanced by providing some basic commentary in English. On arrival at the fort we found ourselves in a big crowd listening to the tour guide speak French. We didn't want to leave as it felt rude. It would have helped if the tour guide let us know in English that the non French speakers were free to leave and to explore the fort. Overall we enjoyed the trip.

Excellent organization of the visit from the start, with a straightforward, informative website, to picking up our tickets, to the boat shuttle. Knowledgeable staff too - and don't forget the gift shop. Quick, the last bell is ringing - don't miss your trip back to the mainland!

A beautifully restored coastal fort with much effort put into informing and interpreting its usage and siting, along with the history of the site. A great little self guided tour - the information boards are in both French and English - thankyou! Its worth visiting the gift shop for some unique presents too.

Very interesting but do check the times of the boat trips as soon as you arrive on your holiday, we nearly missed out due to high tides.

Very interesting visit but ran out of time looking around.

I really enjoyed this trip. Unfortunately the guide talk was in french and my french is not that good. Maybe a small talk in english also?

Amazing forest with well marked paths and trails. Boulders and rock formations are huge and spectacular.

Absolutely beautiful walk. Great on a hot day, as sheltered by trees and by the river. Felt like Jurassic Park, absolutely beautiful. Easy walks. Dog friendly

Great place for an easy hike in the forests. The hiking trails are easily accessible through the town of Huelgoat. I recommend to visit the following places: La Grotte de Diablo, Cap d'Artus and Grotte d'Artus. I recommend to plan for at leas half a day to enjoy this place without any stresses.

Amazing place, free to walk round, lots of options on length of walk. Lots of corners to explore. Fun for adults and children. Back pack easier with toddlers. Some steep drops.

Nice forest with big granit rocks, a beautiful canal and an old town nearby

One of the most magical places I've been to. The forest is quite massive and has loads of places to visit, I went for my birthday with my SO and we both had an amazing time. Heading into the forest you will see incredible natural views and even some wildlife. The fountains you find there are nothing but magical and you truly feel something special walking around in this forest.

A very interesting place to visit and walk. Take strong shoes and you will need to climb to a degree. The trip down to the Devils Cave is worth making but involves steep steps and ducking under rocks. For the not able bodied the lake opposite is beautiful and there are many cafés and restaurants nearby.

Excellent experience. Beautifully maintained and with clear, well composed explanations. The building is obviously a ruin but the work done to maintain it has been very sympathetically directed. Just the right degree of renovation, but with enough decay and collapse to maintain the romantic feel. We were so pleased to find such a site that we could visit without leaving our dogs in the car. They were welcomed throughout.

A peaceful and picturesque stop. Even with a short visit, Abbaye de Beauport leaves an impression — the ruins are beautifully preserved, and the views of the sea and gardens through the old stone arches are stunning. There’s a calm atmosphere throughout, perfect for a quiet walk and some lovely photos. Well worth a visit if you’re in the area.

The ruins of this ancient abbey are beautiful. In summer, we can see fruit trees and green areas with a background view of the see and islands.

Lovely Abbey in the sun or rain . The lawn on the way in to the abbey in spring is a mass of wild flowers and is beautiful. The outside walks are free , but you get into the Abbey itself costs , 7€ for adults and 4€ for concessions.(2024) The ruins are architectural and very photogenic. Inside you learn of the history, with cards in different languages and an visual display showing the day of the monks who once lived there. Just outside is starting point for the Camino de Santiago. The walled garden has many fruit trees, apples and pears , bushes raspberries, red , black currants and gooseberries.. It also has various old roses , that are truly beautiful and possibly unique. There are normally exhibitions on , and when I visited , they had tapestries of satellite images taken around Brittany. These are truly amazing. There is a cafe too , if you need a break . The staff were very helpful and do speak English , if your French is not so good .

The Abbey of Beauport is a beautiful sight. With its garden like feeling it is a nice place to walk around relax and learn new things

Abbaye de Beauport is a beautiful seaside in Brittany. The place is peaceful with mix of medieval architecture, gardens, and coastal views.

This Abbey is a beautiful peaceful Place oozing a very special atmosphere despite the appearance of quite some Tourists. It's only a riun, therefore best to visit, when its dry. Stunning garden and view over the bay.

Our visit to Josselin’s Castle was absolutely delightful! It proved to be a fantastic experience for all ages, offering something engaging for everyone in our family. Exploring the beautiful castle grounds with my wife, our 4-year-old, and our 6-month-old was both convenient and enjoyable. The rich history, stunning architecture, and family-friendly atmosphere made it a memorable outing. Highly recommended for families looking for an easy, enriching adventure!

We loved Josselin,one of the nicest places we have visited. The castle is in great condition with lovely grounds. Unless you have a guide you cannot visit all of it

Have visited a couple of times, gardens are beautiful and views over the canal are fantastic.

What a lovely little town and castle, as well as gardens. Situated on the Nantes-Brest Canal in Brittany, it is the home of the Dukes of Rohan. Most of the grounds are open to the public, as well as the first floor of the Chateau and part of the basement. A bust by Rodin is in one room and one of the Dukes astride a horse in another (a prep work for a statue now in the Castle of Suscinio). The village of Josselin seems to wrap itself around the Chateau and is a lovely stroll too.

Lovely chateau to visit. Also a lovely village. A must visit.

Beautiful location and town with great markets, restaurants and parking options

Lovely castle and grounds to visit! We came as a family in the summer, the castle and house has plenty to look at and see, with activities for the kids. Everything is well kept/restored to a high quality. The grounds offer lots of private paths and things to explore. Perfect places for a picnic. Highly recommended!

Great and lovely presentation. I won't forget what I got in my hand. Thank you for my lovely friend Stéphanie to show me there. .. Channi from Thailand 😍😊

Better than expected, was really interesting and immersive experience, the English translation was really good. Whole family loved it. Didn't get a ticket by email when I booked online but I had the payment confirmation I used at the desk.

A very immersive experience that teaches you the interesting lore and legends of the area. Translation audio devices are available, don't forget to ask for yours before you go in. High quality experience that I would come back to again.

Excellent animation about the forest and the myth of Brocéliande. The way the spectator goes through is very well organised and it is suitable for both adults and children. The surroundings are magnificent and the staff is welcoming. Also, it is accessible for people with disability or difficulty to stand/walk !

A mythical spot that contains numerous shops to perk your interest and tempt the magical or skeptical side. Some shops are commercial while others are original containing natural items or unique trinkets. At the end of the road is the tourist spot for a tour and legend of the forest. This tour is recommended and gives you great information on the history of the forest before you set out and explore it on your own Like if you agree ✍️

Really more for children than adults but very well executed with a great deal of imagination.

The strength of the forest is noticeable! The city holds the magic and nurture medieval tales!

It is free, visitors just need to pay for the car park. It was around €3. It took us around an hour and a half to walk around. There are some portable toilets near the car park. They are extremely filthy and stinky. Cap Fréhel is a peninsula in Côtes-d'Armor, in northern Brittany, France which extends off the Côte d'Émeraude into the Bay of Saint-Malo. People come here do some exploring the iconic lighthouse, visiting Fort La Latte, hiking along the scenic trails, and observing the diverse birdlife. When we were here, there were lots of people doing birdwatching. Although it was a sunny hot day in July, it was still very windy so it is highly recommended to bring a windbreaker.

This was one of the highlights of our trip. Fantastic landscape. Parking was 3€ but definitely worth it. We spent 2 hours walking around the coastline looking at the spectacular cliffs.

The place is magnificent in the sunset

A very interesting place to observe the Emerald Coast. Very windy, could be crowded around 14.00, with only few parking places available. Parking is 3€

I highly recommend to do this path. Is full of beautiful views, birds, plants. Its really amazing 🥰

We enjoyed our walk on the GR34 around Cap Frehel. It was a nice day out.

Beautiful and charming place that is worth a visit if you are in Brittany. Easy to reach, both by car and also by bus. There are also many cyclists who take the opportunity to visit the wonders of the coast of Cap Frehel at low speed. Also nearby is the beautiful Fort de la Latte where you can visit the beautiful medieval castle.

Literally the biggest car museum I've been to! Amazing collection, totally bonkers section upstairs with all the mannequins, and an in-house cider bar. Totally worth the €15 - would 100% recommend.

Excellent afternoon spent here, family of 7 adults. Incredible private collection and we were lucky enough to meet the owner. Mr Hummel and some of his own manufactured cars. The whole fleet of vehicles are working usable vehicles. The raving tracks look incredible too and whilst we didn't use these there were cars going round. Something to note, no cafe unless July & August.

Fantastic museum, lots of rare and interesting cars, the bikes could be better displayed though

6 stars if it was possible. If you are interested in cars the museum has every type, from the first 'Horseless Carriages' to modern famous Formular 1 cars and every type between. The museum is huge, on 2 floors. Expect 4 to 5 hours to see them all.

Without a doubt this is the best automobile museum that I have ever visited. The room with the 18 Formula One cars in it would be worth the trip alone. There is a huge display of vintage vehicles from around the world. Every room that you can walk into has something that will grab your attention. There is plenty of space to walk around the museum and really enjoy the vehicles.The number of race cars here is unreal, not surprising that there are three tracks outside. They also have rooms with a great number of models which are displayed very well. Upstairs there is a display of years past with models of horses, carriages and workshops among other great things. The wee gift shop here has a huge amount of items worth a look at. You leave through here, up a step and outside to the greenery. I would highly recommend a visit here, especially for those that are racing fans.

One of the best Automotive Museums I've visited in recent years. There is something for everyones taste here, with room after room of well prepared vehicles, models, engines and parts. The Engine chapel made me laugh, a fun refrence to worshiping the ICE engine, with f1 v10 noises playing instead of an organ. Certainly felt like my own tastes of 80-90s saloons and french tin where well catered for! So much more here though! Not sure how many other collections have a Renault Safrane Bi-Turbo and two Muiras but its all the better for it! F1 collection is way more expansive than just the initial room full of vehicles, great to see carbon brakes, clutch packs, v10 engines and incredible parts you dont usually get much access to! Rallycross track accross from the Museum is good to have a quick look at too, and you can stay in your motorhome/ van overnight, but wouldnt recomend unless you are intending to visit the collection. Gift shop was full of really good models and t-shirts etc, Michel Hommell himself was there too! Real petrolhead nirvana. Half a day would be best to get around everything.

Perfect. Had my dream car GTV6 and they allowed me to take a closer look over the rails. Much recommend, they have all kinds of classics. Definitely worth a visit!

CLIMBING THE TOWER IS HEAVY BUT AT THE END YOU HAVE A GREAT VIEW OVER THE MEDIEVAL TOWN!

Fantastic view of Dinan and surrounding area. Well worth it.

We visited Tour de l'Horloge in Dinan and loved it! From the top, you can see the entire city. It's a great spot to enjoy and take in the beauty of Dinan.

Really cool. For roughly $10 US you can spend about 2-3 hours here.

Excellent attraction in Dinan! Probably the most beautiful 360 degree viewpoint in the city! Really recommended. The ticket is also cheap. Our twins loved it. However be careful with smaller children, particularly in the upper part that is very steep.

Beautiful village. Nice and calm atmosphere near the end of July. We parked down at the bridge (viaduct, one way except for parking), and walked out way up to the old town. Quite a climb, but doable.

The place is interesting but when it gets full they close the door without putting a notice up that says “full now, wait 10-15 minutes” so some people gave up. Also video was broken and person in charge did not know how to fix it or get it fixed. These problems are so easy to address and would make this a 5 Star visit.

Amazing festival, a delight watching the horse tournament

(Translated by Google) Too bad, despite the sun, we didn't appreciate the organization: a lot of waiting, we spent more time queuing than seeing the entertainment. No clear signs to find the sites, especially when you don't know Dinan... and when you ask the organizers, no one is able to show you the way! The welcome booklet is not clear... and above all, it's excessively expensive for what it is! Too many people, especially with young children, it's not pleasant because the sites are so far apart. In short, we tried it randomly during our vacation, but it won't be the best memory. The welcome from the surrounding merchants was much warmer than in the city center where you feel that the event serves more for them and their profit than for the satisfaction of the spectators. (Original) Dommage malgré le soleil nous n’avons pas apprécié l’organisation : beaucoup d’attente, on passe plus de temps à faire la queue qu’à voir les animations. Aucun panneau clair pour retrouver les sites surtout quand on ne connaît pas Dinan … et quand on demande aux organisateurs personne n’est capable de nous indiquer le chemin! Le livret d’accueil n’est pas clair…et surtout c’est excessivement cher pour ce que c’est ! Trop de monde et surtout avec des enfants en bas âge ce n’est pas agréable tellement les sites sont éloignés entre eux. Bref nous avons testé au hasard pendant nos vacances mais ce ne sera pas le meilleur souvenir. L’accueil des commerçants alentours était bien plus chaleureux qu’en centre ville où on sent que l’événement sert plus à eux et leur profit qu’à la satisfaction des spectateurs.

(Translated by Google) First good experience over 20 years ago. Second experience 2025: 🤔🙄😬. The few information boards don't tell you where you are, nor does the leaflet that lists squares or streets, without identifying them on the map; you have to make do with the phone (medieval atmosphere!). The information at reception is just as vague, because people are locals and it seems obvious to them... The €18 "activities" pass is downright ridiculous: apart from a rather lively tournament, for the rest, you wonder if you're early or arrived too late. The lice show, on the other hand, is successful and enjoyable but aimed more at a young audience. You have to pay €15 extra because it's not included in the pass... I'll briefly mention the parking difficulties and the excessive prices for takeout food. As for the pavane, it clearly lacks atmosphere, except for a few troupes performing, but the bulk of the parade is made up of costumed visitors who have been invited to march and who, as a result, only march. The 2 stars are for: - the medieval market, in keeping with the theme with the products on offer - the concerts on stage, also in keeping with the theme - the volunteers who are generally available and welcoming (apart from the reception) - the town, its streets, its medieval military architecture Overall, the atmosphere is lacking, it's very expensive for what's on offer, and above all, the feeling of wandering around without being sure you're in the right place. (Original) 1ère bonne expérience il y a plus de 20 ans. Seconde expérience 2025: 🤔🙄😬. Les quelques panneaux d’affichage ne vous indiquent pas où vous êtes, pas mieux que le dépliant qui donne des lieux de places ou de rues, sans les désigner sur le plan, il faut faire avec le téléphone (ambiance médiévale!). Les renseignements auprès de l’accueil sont tout aussi vagues, parce les gens sont du coin et que ça leur paraît évident... Le pass "activités" à 18€, c’est carrement abusé: à part un tournoi plutôt bien animé, pour le reste on se demande si on est en avance ou arrivé trop tard. Le spectacle des lices est en revanche est réussi et sympathique mais s’adresse plutôt à un publique jeune. Il faut mettre 15€ en plus car non compris dans le pass... Je passe brièvement sur les difficultés de stationnement et des tarifs excessifs de restauration à emporter. Pour la pavane, elle manque clairement d’ambiance, sauf pour quelques troupes qui font le spectacle, mais le gros du défilé est constitué de visiteurs costumés qui ont été invité à défiler et qui, du coup ne font que défiler. Les 2*, c'est pour: - le marché médiéval, dans le thème avec les produits qui y sont proposés - les concerts sur la scène, de même, dans le thème - les bénévoles globalement disponibles et accueillant (à part l’accueil) - la ville, ses rues, son architecture militaire médiévale Globalement, l’ambiance n’y est pas, c’est très cher pour ce qui est proposé, et surtout l’impression d’errer sans être sûr d’être dans la bonne destination.

(Translated by Google) Lots of negatives. ...the costume box office opens at 10 a.m. ...the shows start at 10 a.m. ...a 1-hour queue... The paper program... no details or schedule for the troupes' passage through the ticketed venues...you have to go to the website... The worst part: the inventory management system with terminals that volunteers have a hard time using, endless queues for a beer or a crepe. The computer registration of your name An endless waste of time at the box office. The restaurants that mainly think about selling but not serving...very average.... We've been medievalists for a very long time...we won't be coming back to Dinan...it's just a race for money. What a disappointment. (Original) Beaucoup de négatif. ...ouverture de la billetterie pour les costumes à 10h ...les spectacles commencent à 10h ...1h de queue... Le programme papier.... pas de détail ni d'horaire de passage des troupes dans les lieux payant ..faut aller sur le site internet... Le comble ; le système de gestion des stocks avec des terminaux que les bénévoles ont bien du mal à utiliser des queues interminable pour avoir une bière ou une crêpe. L'enregistrement de votre nom informatique A la billetterie un temps infini de perdu . Les restaurants qui pense surtout à vendre mais pas à servir....très moyen.... Nous sommes des medievalistes depuis très longtemps.... nous ne reviendrons pas à dinan ...c'est juste une course "au fric" . Quel deception.

(Translated by Google) First time at this medieval festival. We loved it! The atmosphere, the markets, the shows, the volunteers. We'll be back in two years, accompanied by friends and family, and dressed up for the fun! (Original) Première fois à cette fête médiévale. Nous avons adoré ! L'ambiance, les marchés, les spectacles, les bénévoles. On reviendra dans 2 ans, accompagné amis, famille et costumé pour le plaisir !

(Translated by Google) From the best medieval festival it became stupid because a group of gendarmes annoyed the costumes about the weapons even foam bow foam arrow rubber deemed dangerous because at the discretion of the gendarme who was the only one to say some police nothing other gendarme nothing military nothing thank you for putting it in music festivals where any weapon of different materials would not be authorized in addition to being rude aggressive to give what he had as bad news to be at the jump a great shame to spoil an incredible party for people who perhaps work but who are incapable of socializing and enjoying the party even if they are security (Original) De la melieur fête médiéval elle devu stupide car un groupe de gendarmerie casse les pieds au costumes à-propos des arme même en mousse arc en mousse flèche en caoutchouc jugé dangereux car au bon vouloir du gendarme qui étais le seul a dire quelque police rien autre gendarme rien militaire rien merci de le mettre dans des festival de musique la ou n'importe quelle arme de matériaux différentes ne serait pas autorisé en plus de être impoli agressif a se donner se que il a eu comme mauvaise nouvelle pour être au saut un grand dommage de gâcher une fête incroyable pour des personnes qui travaillent peut-être mais qui soit incapable de faire du social et de apprécier la fête même si il sont de la sécurité

(Translated by Google) We were a whole group of friends for our 60th birthday in the region, splendid show and organization very good, good atmosphere, security well managed, frankly bravo to all the volunteers and professionals (Original) Ns étions tout un groupe d amis pr nos 60 ans dans la région splendide spectacle et organisation tres bien bonne ambiance sécurité bien géré franchement bravo a ts bénévoles et profétionnels

Not completely overrun so far! Gives you a great understanding of old town structures and has a super nice flair! Just beat the crowd and be early there to get one of the parking spots outside of the city center.

No tickets necessary. Just over a mile to walk round. Steps up to the top of the ramparts. Beautiful views of the town and sea

Historical & Landmark Saint-Malo walls This is a great place to come and visit. It is free of charge, so all you have to do is find one of the staircases leading you to the walkway the wardens & guards would have taken to check if the enemy was not coming ;) This is also a fantastic viewpoint and it is really good to start your visit of SM here as it does give you a perspective of the whole city somehow (obviously talking here about the intramuros part). The views were great & the walk is fantastic specially on a good day. Highly recommended!

One of my most favourite places on earth. I adore it here and hopefully everyone will agree. Weather helps too.

Fantastic place to visit for it's amazing views, shopping and restaurants. Places for a dip in the sea if you are brave enough if the weather is good. Boat trips available

This city is just one of a kind. It’s really crowded during the weekends and you think their is enough parking but their isn’t haha. We stayed a whole week to check out everything and it was really worth it. Go their during summer or during fall if you wanna see the big waves

A very interesting place to visit. Although the narrow streets could get claustrophobic if spending too much time there. Absolutely full of restaurants. We took the wee tourist train which gives a good look round without getting lost!

St Brelades bay hotel is simply lovely... Great Staff, fab food, lovely gardens, lovely views over the Bay itself... Could not recommend highly enough.. ❤️

Gorgeous beach. Immaculate gardens adjacent to the beautiful white sand and a lovely church to visit at one end of the bay with views back over the sea. I could easily spend an afternoon here sitting on a bench, eating Jersey ice cream and soaking up the local atmosphere.

Very nice beach, St Brelade's Bay is by far Jersey's best beach, fit with many restaurants and nice hotels. The beach is always clean and most of the time not to busy... Really recommend this beach!

Beautiful beach, plenty of places to eat/drink and a very lovely church

A beautiful bay with sandy beach, good facilities, nice cafes and restaurants, a public park and lot more. It’s a great place to relax and enjoy the day especially in the summer season.

What a gem of a place to visit. It has everthing you need. Beautiful clean beach and so scenic. Lovely promanade with lots of seating areas in prom side gardens. Cafes , restaurants , all within walking distance. A must place to visit for young and old 10/10

A most beautiful beach. Pristine, clean.

I came here with my scout trip on our summer camp, and it was one of the highlights of said camp! I loved being able to see a demonstration of a musket being fired, and the volunteers were very friendly and helpful, with loads of knowledge to share. The museum of the development of warfare, from early cannons to the modern nuclear weapons was also very interesting, the weapons were very cool and there was lots of information for every weapon and its use The museum provided an almost humbling perspective on how far we have come in our abilities to kill eachother in grander and grander scales Being able to enter the bunkers and explore the castle at my own will was a very enjoyable experience Walking to and from the castle is also something I would recommend, though you need to keep an eye on those tides I think its about a 10 to 15 minute walk from the mainland, about a kilometre

Make sure you give your self plenty of time to visit. To start the adventure to the castle you get on a amphibious truck. Castle is a fantastic place to visit, with a lot of history from across hundreds of years, lots to see plus lots of steps, but after all that climbing there is a lovely little cafe to refuel. We had a fantastic time exploring

A nice day visit, good for families. Very intersting and unique history to explore. Some exhibits to intrigue you but its mostly the castle and locstion itself which are the highlights. There is a regular bus/ferry or its a 15 min walk at low tides. I managed to walk both there and back in the low tide window.

A very interesting “castle” - much more there than I expected. The castle itself is really interesting - how it was altered and expanded, including in WW2 - and the views back to St Helier and around St Aubin’s Bay were great. Access either by causeway at low tide (watch for slippery seaweed) or by amphibious “ferry”. Good cafe with great garden area for seating.

Amazing 🤩 for less than £19.00 it is well worth it. You can spend hours here. We visited in October when the weather was still nice and enjoined every minute 👍. When you get your tickets it is around 1 km walk to the castle 🏰. You can use the “ferry” but we preferred to walk on the beach. Also the coffee place is very good ☕️.

The castle was amazing! You had the choice to either go on a tour or explore the castle yourself. You could even go into old German WW2 bunker! The cafe and toilets were nice too.

First ever visit to Jersey and this was the first attraction we visited. Only thought we were walking around an historic castle so the added history talk and firing of musket & cannon was a real added bonus . Would definitely recommend visiting be it walking at low tide or amphibious vehicle. We only had 5 days in Jersey and this was the best bit .

This felt like the oldest part of the city with visible ruins. Many crêperies & historical buildings nearby.

A bit of a walk to get there from the main part of town, and not particularly impressive. At time of writing (April 2025) there was a fence with advertising next to the gate making it hard to take a good photo.

It was amazing walking through this amazing castle 🏰..

It looks very good after restoration

Historical Gate in Rennes in the Old town combination in the modern city if Rennes. Nice photo spot and good to walking and relax in the old town area.

You would never find this place without a recommendation, but it is a gorgeous, welcoming little restaurant with delicious crepes. The staff -- which seemed to be a family to me -- were warm, polite, and forgiving that our party did not speak a lick of French. This little back alley (literally) creperie is surrounded by many busier, happening ones (we joked that this area must be "the creperie district"), but Mordelaises is a true gem.

Small historical place

Lovely place! Suggest to have a peaceful walk there

Parc du Thabor in Rennes, France is truly a delightful escape in the heart of the city. Spanning over 10 hectares, this beautifully maintained park offers a perfect blend of French formal gardens, English-style landscaping, and a lovely botanical garden. Whether you’re a local or a visitor, it’s a serene spot to relax, take a walk, or enjoy a peaceful afternoon. What makes Parc du Thabor special is its charm and diversity. The rose garden is absolutely stunning in bloom, with hundreds of varieties adding color and fragrance to the air. The tall, shaded trees and open grassy areas make it ideal for picnics or simply lounging with a book. Families will appreciate the well-kept playgrounds, and there are even aviaries with exotic birds to admire. Throughout the seasons, the park remains a lively yet calming place — perfect for a morning jog, a romantic stroll, or some quiet reflection. It’s also close to the city center, making it easily accessible and a great break from the hustle of urban life. Overall, Parc du Thabor is a must-visit if you’re in Rennes. It’s a beautiful, peaceful space that showcases the natural beauty and thoughtful design typical of great European parks.

Must visit in Rennes! Come with kids and your family and you'll find a charming French garden with pleasant greenery. In particular you need to visit the birds nest! Try to grab a stick under the surrounding trees and let parrots come up to you. Such a wonderful place to visit in summer time.

I would have liked to give 4 stars but I think it will make more impact on reducing to make sure this catch the attention. I went to this park on the 29/08/2025 and first of all this is a very pretty and lit park. It’s free to enter and I also found some ducks and chickens I think :) (correct me if I am wrong) as I went to the park and explored then I needed to use the toilet so I didn’t check if there was any other as the Google maps led me to this specific toilet but I wasn’t the only one trying to use the facility. But,I am very disappointed by the fact that the toilet facility is not looked after at all. It looks like it has been clean for weeks. I mean how can you take care of a place you opened for the general public and the tourist alike, then ignore the fact that if you are expecting them to see there and spend time they cannot have somewhere to go and satisfy their humans needs(🚽🧻🧼🧴🪣). At least do some effort. Overall it’s a great park to visit but be mindful of this when planning to go there.

Cute and best park I've been to. It is quite big and colourful with flowers blooming. And you would also find love birds and chickens. Definitely a must visit in Rennes!

The prettiest park I’ve ever been to! I visited around 7-8 pm on a Thursday night (summer)and the weather was perfect for a walk. There was a modern art gallery plus a small bird sanctuary and the place is filled with beautiful flowers and greenery. I promise you will have a great time there. Bonne visite!

Great for relaxing, running and having a drink . Fun for kids as well 😀

What an amazing, wonderful & fantastic place! The castle has so much history & is so well preserved & presented that every corner has something new & fascinating to look at. It has informative plaques & infographics that plunge you into the history & personality of the castle making you feel that you are a part of it. My inner child was itching at the bit over every piece of this place. The view form the top is recommended, you see every part of the coastline of Jersey & on the other side you can see the beaches of France! The staff were lovely & helpful. The place is epic... Oh & watch out for the wall lizards... You can hear them in the flora & they pop out onto the wall before skittering off, it's so cool! I can't wait to go back!!

A must visit if you are in Jersey! There are three castles on the island, however with this one being on the east coast, you will get stunning views of the coast of France! it takes about 2 hours to explore the castle and there are lots of steps. This is not recommended for anyone with walking difficulties or those who need extra assistance. I would also recommend taking a bottle of water if the sun is out, you will be very warm by the time you reach the top! The castle is over 800 years old, with fascinating history to it. From the times of William the conqueror to the German occupation of the island in WW2. It has been beautifully kept, and there are hundreds of areas to explore in the castle and the grounds itself. You can book tickets online, however we purchased our tickets on arrival from the entrance which was easy to do. If you are going to visit more than one attraction they do offer a discounted ticket for 3 attractions, and it does work out as a saving to you. So check this out if you want to visit the castle, maritime museum and another attraction on the offer. With stunning views of the island, France and the bays, this is a fantastic attraction on the island and I would highly recommend to anyone interested in history, castles or those looking for something fun and interesting to do while in Jersey. Castle is easy accessible by bus, with the bus stopping right in the town below the castle.

Really enjoyed our castle visit. Loads to see but it is up loads of stairs. The views from the top are spectacular and loved that you could go round in any order. The "serf" running around with his lute looked like he wanted to be anywhere but we found that quite amusing. Cafe was good and had a humongous scone. Really nice staff and highly recommend.

Wow! A jaw-droppingly-good castle with plenty of rooms stairs, floors, corridors, dungeon and roof top to explore. Comparatively more exciting than Elisabeth Castle. A captivating history will keep you interested for a couple of hours. With gift shop, cafe and respectably clean public toilets. The views from the different levels and parapets are not to be missed. On a breezy day, keep a hold of your children and your hats out on the very top!

Very enjoyable. The castles is in a good condition, considering everything. Plenty of rooms, courtyards, roof tops and other bits to see. A great view from the top, of course a lot of steps are involved, so some may find the climb difficult. Otherwise well worth catch the bus and enjoy.

An absolute must for anyone who likes castles. Not a ruin but not updated and modernised either - you get a real feel for how the castle was and how it developed over the centuries. Great explanatory displays throughout, so that you can understand better. Lots of stairs, but absolutely worth it for the great views. Also catch the bird of prey display if it’s on when you visit.

Really enjoyed our visit to Mont Orgueil Castle. The history, the exhibits and the views were excellent. However, watch out for the witch or you'll jump out of your skin with fright.

From this point you can see the full splendkr of the Mount St. Michel.

Beautiful but very crowded. We arrived around lunchtime.

Mont Saint Michel Amazing place. Like magical 😇 but it's not suitable for handicap 🧑‍🦽 because there is no access to get to the top hill side without lift service. It's really difficult.

The whole place is an absolute surreal beauty! Its really a magical place. Wait for the tide change, if possible.

Beautiful place I’ve ever seen in my life!

Stunning Castle free to enter and explore History.

I have to say my experience at these Toilets was very appalling. My reason being that the Lady running it charged 2 Euros for me to excrete my bodily fluids. Anyways there was another Woman working there who looked like she was at the lowest point in her life even lower than the Mariana Trench (for those who have been living under a rock the Mariana Trench is the deepest underwater trench in the world). Anyways, back to the story, as I entered the sanctuary of the Mont Saint Michael bathrooms a very pungent smell came about my nostrils. To my disgust I found large splats of diarrhoea smelted across the walls (my best assumption was the Charging lady from the start as her face looked as red as my little boys cherries). Anyways, my experience at the Toilets was not only pungent and disgusting it was filling me with gratitude to the fact that back in the Brexit geezer land of the UK we have access to free toilets. - infinity/ 10. NO BOSH

Majestic!!!!! Town is free to enter. The abbey is a must do, its the main part of the town, get tickets in advance and dont miss the audioguide. Best we have had and nothing would make sense without the context it provides. Do the abbey in the afternoon so you can make your way up to it slowly. See the bridge at high tide, so you can see the town mostly covered in water, for photos. It rarely gets fully covered and only lasts an hour if it does. Parking is $20. There is a shuttle, but walk if you can. The walk up slowly is the best part and only takes a half hour. Give extra time to walk the fields all around it for different views and the sheep. We definitely wanted a full day. Could have done one day in the town and a second day to wander all around the outside. We rented a car from Paris for 3 days. The tolls to drive there and back cost us about $45.

Very impressive abbey and small village built or a rock, just off the coast. You get there via a purpose built bridge. Park your car on the "mainland" and get the free bus to the abbey. Walk through the tiny little streets that look like the Harry Potter set! Unique experience.

Georgeous place, the walf from the parking to the castle takes up to 30-40 min but it's worth. When you get there you can walk through the surroundings freely, but you need tickets (in advance) to enter the castle. It's full of souvenir stores, some restaurants, WC...

Oh gosh, that was great destination. If you ever wanna visit France, don't miss it. It's a must do location. If you'll walk up to the top of the tiny city, you'll think differently about your life, you'll be very happy and you'll understand...why it's important to walk up to the top and think about your life while you slowly look around, you'll understand in a second that we are so small and fragile ... We are all birds of God! Slow down and start feeling the meaning of real life. Here the nature will rule on you, you're small..... nature is big.

Have been fascinated with this fairytale "castle" on a magical island for a long time. Found out more about it when planning the visit. This amazing structure was Gothic abbey and prison in the early centuries. High and low tide, day and night, four seasons give this abbey different charm. Not much light up at night, except in July and August, however you're not expecting big crowd.😉

This is a stunning place and an engineering Marvel. However. It’s a long drive from Paris and the parking lots and mandatory buss ride from the parking lot leave a lot to be desired. The bathrooms at the visitor center would take your breath, men’s and women’s. Upon reaching the island, the streets were very narrow and overcrowded, and it was Shop after shop of more or less the same souvenirs largely Chinese junk. Tried some poor quality ice cream. Unless walking on the mud / sand flats with the island in the background is your thing I wouldn’t wast my time here. There are beautiful churches everywhere in Europe. That are much easier to visit. And much prettier beaches elsewhere in France. The site as whole was a little dirty and unkept. I can’t imagine how awful the crowding would be in peak season.

We visited early in the morning — we were there around 7:30 AM. It was very easy to find a parking spot. Since it was early, hardly anyone had arrived yet, and we chose to use the shuttle. If you come at this hour, you can witness an incredible tidal phenomenon within about two hours and see how the sea surrounds the island. We didn’t go inside the cathedral. Even just the tide is a natural spectacle that you absolutely must see. If you want to avoid the crowds and enjoy a more peaceful experience, early morning is the best time to visit.

Very cute museum. There you can learn about Christian Dior childhood and see several iconic peaces made by him. The staff is super friendly and efficient. The gardens are super well maintained and beautiful.

Wonderful house with a stunning garden and view. Sometimes there could’ve been a little more translations in English, but nevertheless it was a great experience. I would advise to buy tickets before, I didn’t have to wait at all while the queue was long. The garden is beautiful with the flowers and plants and of course the view of the sea is stunning. There is an easy way down the sea as well. Can also recommend the little café in the garden.

Such a Beautiful place to Visit. Highly recommend. Great Free Gardens to walk around and also there are steps down to the beach from the garden. Also enjoyed the house and museum. Great for kids as upstairs in the museum they have a place where children can colour in some dress designs and do puzzles, whilst the adults look around.

Beautiful grounds but overall a disappointing experience. The house inside had been so altered to take the displays you get little feel for what it was like. The were a lot of designs by people under the Dior name but the was little about Christian Dior and his history and development. Only one toilet so long queues

Very interesting experience with the family on our time spent to learn about the birth place of one of the most influencing French fashion designers of the 20th century, Christian Dior. It is recommended to book. The earlier, the merrier! You may be lucky, and arrive without booking, but you will likely wait for a bit as the house can only accept a maximum of 50 visitors at the time. So make sure you stay hydrated and an umbrella may be useful in case of rain or blazing sun conditions. The design of the inside of the museum and the garden were found up to our expectations, very refined and sparkling. Just a bit of a pity, that some of the rooms are kept in the dark, which makes it sometimes hard to read notes on the walls. The visit is not suitable for people who cannot go up and down stairs. The toilets area is kept outside the museum. It may need a bit more signs for directions. But against all expectations, toilets were found very dirty and neglected (no toilet paper found in the ladies room). Except these things, it was a rather good visit.

Interesting Musuem lots of history well displayed. And you are able to design your own dress and leave on the wall. Gardens are very relaxing. A must visit.

Museum closed for winter but garden remains open. Wonderfully peaceful and great views over to Channel Islands. Steps up from beach will sharpen your appetite. 😀

An amazing place to visit. Not expensive and dominates the town and scenery. The whole town is a testament to the history of the region. There are a lot of steps if you want to walk up the towers and along the ramparts - with no alternative. It is in exceptional condition and there were free audio guides. A lot of information boards and magnificent views of the town and surrounding areas.

Amazing castle! Such a large footprint! The castle is in a great preserved state, i.e. it is not fully restored, but rather a mix of ruins and restored areas. The place it holds in the city is impressive and tied to an important part of the History of Bretagne. ❤️

Wonderful little town, feels like 2 towns with the castle unusually at the bottom of the hill and the town at the top.loads of old buildings and churches. Really well kept with nice bars and restaurants. Recommend a visit here

Another great place to visit with lots to see. There is an abundance of restaurants located just outside the chateau walls. The town itself is very pretty with shopping and restaurants. Parking was easy and free.

When thinking about this trip, we decided to stop off at more towns and villages, as we miss so much when we rush down to the Mediterranean. This medieval village certainly did not disappoint. The castle and moat jump right out of the pages of history books. The quaint little buildings, the high up church, half timbered houses, and of course the splattering of bars and restaurants. The municipal motorhome parking area soon fills up, so don't arrive too late in the day. €6.50 gets you 24 hours, which is great value. We're so glad that we stopped off here.

Absolutely incredible experience, well worth the visit; prepare to spend several hours here

The most stunning castle I have ever visited! Well worth the €10 entry fee, which also includes an audio device to hang around your neck that will give you indepth info about the castle at various points during your visit. Just be aware there are no dogs allowed anywhere inside the grounds, so leave your best friend at home 🙂

Our tour was just incredible! Ana was our guide and Sebastien was our driver. They were simply amazing and so knowledgeable. I thought I knew a lot about WWII until Ana shared some amazing stories and facts on our tour. Highly recommend!!!

It was amazing, well designed and very interesting. There’s also a bunker and a special price for students (€6). Many interesting displays are worth seeing, and I would definitely recommend visiting this place.

Fabulous museum. Excellent presentation of the historical path leading to WW2 and the subsequent events, not only in Europe but across the world. Balanced and even handed treatment of the role played by all sides (good and bad). Good blend of objects, images, videos and textual explanation. Perfect closure to a few days visiting the historical sites of the area. Highly recommended.

This is “THE” Normandy to take. Private tour with our wonderful guide Lena. Very knowledgeable and so informative. If you don’t want headphones and don’t want to read every placard this is the best way to get the Normandy experience. Even if you are not a WWII buff or into WWII history you will really enjoy this tour. I highly recommend it.

A pure and epic monument to the battle of Normandy and more. If you're travelling to or through Caen, this is a must see for all. Beautiful grounds, incredible memorials and history.

Good museum, you can spend alot of time here if you to know every detail of the war. Information, photos and displayed items also a 360 cinema

Mario (our guide) was so informative, funny and knowledgeable! He really made our trip memorable! And our driver (Leonie) was always on time and had the bus ready for us! She even had water waiting for us!

While I've been to better castles, the draw here is the impressive interactive elements that really bring the place to life. My son loved it. Great views from the top as well.

The exterior grounds allow dogs, but not inside. The restoration is unique because the castle was besieged so many times so there is concrete, steel and glass instead picking one particular period to restore to. The architecture of the well shaft in the tower is amazing as is the rooftop although I am afraid of heights. Different than other castles, but an interesting take. Walk around to see the castle from different angles, don't worry about getting straight to the entrance.

Chateau telling the story of William the Conquerer from before his birth to after his death Good audio visual displays and tablet features including room by room makeovers off ho they would have looked originally. Good setting with fine views from top of tower A lot of steps to master! Good shop and staff very friendly. You can walk the grounds for free. Would recommend.

Great way to spend the morning. Fantastic views over the surrounding areas. Really good interactive exhibition. A few stairs but nothing scary. Free parking outside. More to visit next time.

Excellent attraction. Good value day out. Lots to see. Interactive and informative.

Amazing to see but the website said it was open but we could only walk around the inside the castle grounds because the castle inside was closed. A big disappointment travelling so far and not to go inside. Even the museum by town Square was also closed this was on a Monday. We didn't want to waste time waiting so we continued our journey towards Spain.

Best castle I've ever been to!! The castle looks incredible, it's in really good condition and is in an imposing location. The display boards and interactive tour using augmented reality via tablets (which including a little treasure hunt) were absolutely brilliant, an engaging way to learn the history of the castle. I hope other castles can follow a similar approach. I cannot recommend this castle enough it's a must visit!

A very good museum solely focusing on the taking of the bridge. The museum is not massive, but packed with memorabilia and information. The outside holds the actual bridge, planes, vehicles and information related to the bridge. The entrance fee was cheap. Highly recommend a visit.

What a surprisingly interesting and engaging museum! It may be small, but it’s perfectly formed, and rather than overwhelming you with endless information, the story is broken down into sections that are easy to follow and beautifully presented. The exhibits take you through the narrative in a way that feels poignant, thoughtful, and respectful, while still being very easy to digest. The subject of war is never simple to handle, and it’s all too easy for museums to become either too heavy or, on the other end of the scale, a little dry and uninspiring. What struck me here was how well balanced it is. Even if military history isn’t normally your area of interest (it isn't mine really, but I was travelling with people who wanted to go here), this museum has a way of drawing you in. It doesn’t shy away from the realities of what happened, but it never feels gratuitous, and the result is something that holds your attention from start to finish. There aren’t interactive exhibits in the modern sense - no touch screens or VR, no touchy feely stuff - but honestly, it doesn’t need them. The quality of the storytelling is strong enough that it captures your imagination on its own. If you’re visiting with children who are confident readers and have an interest in history, they’ll find plenty to keep them engaged too. The staff deserve a mention as well. They are bilingual, friendly, and incredibly cheerful, which adds to the welcoming feel of the museum. They clearly care about the story they’re helping to tell, and it makes the whole experience that bit more memorable. All in all, this is a real gem of a museum in the area. It tells such an important part of history with care and clarity, and I’d say it’s a must stop for anyone visiting Normandy. There was plenty of parking although we visited mid week in mid September, and even for camper vans, and don't forget to visit Cafe Gondre a 1 minute drive away to carry on the learning.

Well worth a visit to this museum. A real piece of history and interesting story. Free parking. Entrance ticket 9,50€. Have a wee coffee or beer at the cafe across the bridge. First house in France to be liberated in 1944.

A great memorial with plenty of informative displays with vehicles parked atound the grounds. They also have the original bridge and have also managed to rebuild a glider that was used to get troops into the area. There is plenty of parking close by and some of the memorials are a very short walk away. This was one of the best memorials I visited on my Normandy trip.

A must visit especially for those with an airborne background. A garden holds the original Pegasus bridge and other artifacts. Inside lots of memorabilia from those soldiers who were there. Very interesting.

Very emotional. Amazing how much is on display inside as well as out. Words can't do it justice. Highly recommended.

Merci Michel for a fantastic guided tour - he really brought the history to life. Great memorial museum, with lots of interesting items to see, both inside and out.

Wonderful wildlife park. Animals all had lovely large enclosures but were still remarkably easy to see. Only 1 cafe open today but food was tasty and plentiful. Plenty of toilets which were all very clean. Free safari train was also great fun and gave closer views of some of the animals, with additional commentary in English. 3D cinema was good despite not understanding all of what was said (was only in French) could still make sense of the story.

Great zoo, there was not too many people (end of September), you can really see all,animals wothout disturbing them much, we took a private visit to girafes and bears, it was great! Good restaurant at the entrance. We will definitely be back.

Fantastic zoo where you really feel like a visitor in the animal's domain. You see in the animal's eyes that they are truly at ease and happy. Other zoos look like they were built around the paths, here the paths are built through their habitats.

Incredible zoo. Truly met and exceeded my expectations. I have not seen so many animals so close before in any zoo. The animals look well cared for, and there are many 'interactive' exhibitions. Cannot rate this zoo more highly for a fantastic day out.

Absolutely fantastic place. Loads to see and do. Be prepared for a fair bit of walking. The safari train ( included in the price) is also great. Highly recommended

I was carried away by all these 5 star reviews and expected way too much. Maybe because it was August, but it was a Thursday, however it was just too crowded. Yes, the zoo or let’s say wild life park is amazing but apart from the giraffes you cannot get really close to any animals. Still to see the hippos and rhinos is something else. Too see animals close you had to manage a crowd of 20-40 other spectators and try to get a peek. Very stressful, to walk the path was in line and I had to wait 20 minutes for a safari train. They are still worth it and take you to parts of the park that you cannot access otherwise. Worth a visit but brave yourself for a crowd.

Very good zoo , we have been told loads but this one was up there with the best

Beautiful long beach with lots of activities for children. Very surprised to see the majority of attractions were closed even the beach side eateries and bars. We had to walk inland to get something. Plenty of parking. Dog friendly beach is restricted to the high point of the dunes.

The day we were there was wonderful. People were flying kits, sunbathing and playing games on the beach. The sand was fine and soft, had to take off my shoes and walked on it. Compared to beaches in English, this beaches is fantastic. 🏊‍♀️

Beautiful beach! Especially the side with the dunes and the park/ forest. Town center is very cute. The only downside is finding a table in a restaurant. Make sure you make a reservation before heading to town. They have very specific times for the kitchen.

Beautiful soft and deep sand that went on for miles and miles. Very spacious. We were there early morning and basically had the beach to ourselves. We found some free parking on the residential streets a few roads down from the pay and display streets and only walked about 10 mins from car to beach. Lovely quaint restaurant/cafes and shops. And also a market selling clothes, crystals bags and food etc. Was a lovely day trip. Would recommend.

Unique premise and atmosphere here. Very grand buildings on outskirts and in surrounding forests, becoming more modern towards the seafront. Beautifully manicured areas outside of impressive hotels and apartment blocks. Rue Saint Jean is main pedestrian thoroughfare to the beach area with designer shops inland, giving way to bars and boutiques towards the seafront. Different every time we come, but always fantastic. The beach is very large and clean, with sunbeds and parasols available in season, with an adventure complex and various eateries and bars.

Nice golden sand , stretches for miles, warm sea.

Did not actually go I'm just a boy using my mum's phone for my made up footy leagues lol but I need more points for level 3 so ye

We visited D on a weekday during the holidays, and it was an awesome experience! The aquarium offers a wonderful opportunity to view and learn about a wide variety of sea creatures. It's both fun and educational, especially for kids. They will definitely enjoy the interactive exhibits and get a chance to gain knowledge about marine life. The display of different types of sea fishes—from colorful reef species to large predators—is truly fascinating. The environment is well-maintained and family-friendly, making it a perfect holiday outing. Highly recommended for families looking for an engaging and informative day out! Recommended to visit in the morning session to avoid the crowds.

This should definitely be on any to do list if in or around the Boulogne area. Worth the money and time we'll spent. Would recommend leaving at least 4 hours as there is plenty to see and the large tank is truly amazing. Was shocked when seeing the large manta ray emerge from the darkness for the first time. It's also very educational so would highly recommend. Will go again next time I'm in the area

The most amazing experience! 3 main exhibits, the first of which I spent more then two hours in, gazing at the largest aquarium in Europe was comfortable, spacious and signs were easily translated. Many of the staff were bilingual and so helpful! There were little spots to eat including a restaurant, clean restrooms and lockers to store your belongings. Outside the front of Nausicaa is also a lovely green area with children's play park and access to watch the sea lions! There was so much information accessible and interactive activities to keep children engaged whilst being educational. I will absolutely return here one day!

This is a beautiful aquarium with an excellent story telling about the ocean. We really enjoyed the jelly fishes , corals and the story telling. I don't fully agree with the sea lion attraction hype but they are nice. The best is the manta ray fish in the main pool which makes all the kid wonder with awe and equally so the adults. This place has a good restaurant as well and therefore don't worry about going out for food. This place takes 4.5 hrs of you would like to walk through everything.

Such a brilliant day out with the family. It is so much bigger than we were expecting. 3 different areas to look around, with so many tanks and other things to do. Lovely restaurant on site with lots of options. Would definitely recommend to anyone going to the area. 10/10. Definitely book in advance online, we were able to book the group tickets and saved a lot of money. It was very busy, with lots of school trips. We went on a Friday.

This place is truly one of the best! It offers so much more than a typical aquarium. the experience is absolutely surreal. Please note that outside food isn't allowed, but the on-site café serves both hot and cold meals. With multiple levels to explore, it's a good idea to fuel up beforehand. Be prepared for a lot of walking, so wear comfortable shoes and come ready for an adventure!

Wonderful aquarium with huge tanks, so many different species of fish and some big Stingrays and sharks and a selection of well thought it and interesting exhibits. The cafe is good too and plenty to see and do for the day, even the kids are entertained.
