Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

The ramparts of Vannes are limited to the eastern section of the town’s historic center. They look very grand from afar — across the rampart gardens and the former moat but only two small sections could be accessed. In other words, can walk on a 25 meter or a 50 meter section of the ramparts. Nevertheless, nice photo op.

Going around the remnants of the old fortifications one passes a well-kept large park and can admire some of Vannes historical buildings. Worthwhile.

You emerge from the town up a stone staircase to an amazing view along the ramparts and the beautiful gardens below. Lovingly restored you get a feel for how the walls looked in Medieval Times. Imagining a moat where the gardens are.

Well worth a walk around the ramparts and gardens if visiting Vannes. The stream which runs through the edge of the gardens, and onto the former lavoir, is lovely. Look out for the beautiful willow tree. Very pretty gardens. Great spot for a picnic. We tried to walk around the rampart walls (like you can in St Malo) but it doesn’t seem possible to do so here, just viewing spots on high.

A beautiful architectural ensemble. The walls surround the old city. The moat of the walls has been transformed into beautiful gardens, very well preserved. It is worth the walk along these walls

And majestic. With beautiful gardens very well maintained and a nice walk on the walls themselves offering great views of the gardens.

We could see the walls and garden from our hotel, the ramparts nearly go the whoe way around the town, lots of lovely garden space next to them, lovely for just sitting and watching the world go by

While we were in Vannes we couldn’t park at the Halles des Lices and being one-way the only way out was through the narrow Porte de Poterne and across the even narrower bridge to the main road. Wonderful. Not only was there cheap parking on the Rue Francis Decker but we were suddenly looking at the magnificent ramparts of the city and the ramparts gardens.
The ramparts are immense and leave you a little in awe especially trying to visualise what they were like in their heyday. A fraction of the original is still intact and consist of a large section of the battlement walls, two magnificent towers, four arched entrances (portes) and the Chateau de l’Hermine. It is a must to walk the length of the walls and take in the views of the gardens and the town. They act a great viewing platform for photographs. Definitely recommended.

After visiting the cathedral we went up on the walls surrounding the old town. Free if charge one can only walk a short piece of these ramparts. But from above you can see down into the formal gardens planted outside the walls. We went down to walk through them. Alice in Wonderland could have played here.
