Yet another tourism fair? Certainly not, Little Smartass faith! In this exhibition, as its name suggests, nature tourism is in the spotlight. In 2019, the show opens the borders of its destinations, with a regional offer of course, but also national and international. His visit is a source of inspiration for day, weekend or weekly excursions, sometimes with family, sometimes with friends, sometimes with lovers. Sports enthusiasts will find new ideas for outdoor activities, hikers on foot, by bike or on horseback, and new routes between land and sea. Heritage lovers will notice the inexhaustible diversity of Breton culture. Tourist destinations, accommodation, emblematic sites, museums, leisure activities: it's as if you've set foot in a guide. Enjoy your visit!

The Vannes Marathon is not 1, but 4 sporting events. 1 marathon of 42,195 km very exactly with 2000 participants. 1 duet race, the "Duo de l'Hermine", one partner starting for 19 km, the other for 23 km, with 700 teams. 1 race of 10 km, "Les foulées du golfe", with 2000 runners. 1 company relay, in 9 km, 10 km, 12 km and 11 km, for 300 teams. The proposed circuits are among the most beautiful running circuits in the world, thanks to the itineraries that follow the coastal paths of the Gulf of Morbihan.

Every year since 1928, the Festival d'Arvor (formerly Fêtes d'Arvor) has brought together thousands of people, culminating in the crowning of the Queen of Arvor on the steps of the town hall. The Vannes festival committee organizes events around Breton culture, highlighting the dynamism of the groups and bagadoù: fest-noz, shows, sea chanteys, dance initiations and costume parades punctuate these festive days. This year, the festival celebrates the 80th anniversary of the Liberation of Vannes, which took place on August 4, 1944.
