Getting Around

Getting around Brittany is best managed with a car for flexibility, especially for exploring the rural areas and smaller villages. Major towns are well-connected by train (TER Bretagne), offering an affordable way to travel between cities like Rennes, Brest, and Nantes (though Nantes is technically in the Loire-Atlantique department, often associated with Brittany). Buses serve local routes but can be infrequent outside urban centers. Renting a car in larger cities like Rennes or Brest provides the freedom to discover hidden coves and charming fishing ports at your own pace.
