The department of Ille-et-Vilaine is often referred to as the gateway to Brittany and with easy access to the Emerald Coast and Bay of Mont St Michel to the north, its proximity to the Atlantic coast in the south, enchanted Broceliande forest and abundance of fabulous chateaux, it is certainly a great place to holiday.
Stride the ramparts of St Malo, an ancient pirate stronghold, or cross the River Rance to the stylish resort of Dinard which boasts a fine casino, wonderful beaches and sub-tropical vegetation.
Visit Brittany’s capital, Rennes, a lively, multicultural university city and host to many festivals at the very heart of Ille-et-Vilaine. Finally spoil yourself with a dish of Cancale’s succulent oysters.
