Getting Around

In just over two hours the TGV train from Paris whisks you to Rennes, the region's hub. From Rennes you can continue to the region's farthest outpoints—Brest and Quimper—or take a branch line to St-Malo or Dinan.

You need to use buses, or a car, to explore the coast between Dinard and Rostoff, and the smaller towns along the Atlantic coast, like Concarneau, and Pont-Aven. The A11 expressway leads from Paris to Rennes, continuing as the N12 dual-carriageway to Brest, whence the N165 dual-carriageway heads down the coast toward Nantes. Roads through the Breton hinterland are narrow and slow.
