Reviews Summary
The Vannes Town Hall is praised as a magnificent and beautiful building, with visitors recommending a walk around to admire its architecture from all angles. The surrounding square is described as welcoming. However, parking can be a significant issue, with reports of towing due to unclear signage during events, leading to frustration and unexpected costs for some visitors.
"I arrived in Vannes today Saturday around 1 pm by car, paid 24,00 € for parking near the port. There was a sign next to my car warning that you couldn’t park there on Sunday because of a festival (Festival D’Arvor). The first parking was closed because of an event, and I was happy to have found a spot to visit lovely Vannes, although it was the most expensive parking fee yet in Bretagne. When I got back to my car, it had been towed. It took me 2 hours, 2 different police station indications (gendarmerie national and commissariat de police), a 20,00 € taxi ride outside the city and 135,00 € for the car towing to get my car back, and that only due to a really bad signaling service from the city. According to the police municipale there had been 2 signs, one signaling the event on Sunday, another one signaling one on Saturday afternoon. Come on! As a foreigner it is already difficult to read the signs in French, and then they hang different types on the same street side? I had only seen one sign, the one next to my car and the payment terminal. If there was another one, it should have been placed differently. Not a very welcoming way of treating tourists and locals. I feel ripped off by the city of Vannes. We met many people with the same fate at the towing company. If the police sends me a ticket, I will make sure to hand it over to a lawyer. This was so unfair and a result of the unprofessional way of doing things in Vannes. Be careful where you park your car in Vannes is the only warning I can give to fellow tourists."
