By Train in Brittany

Most towns in this region are accessible by train, though you need a car to get to some of the more secluded spots. The high-speed TGV (Train à Grande Vitesse) departs 15 times daily from Paris (Gare Montparnasse) for Rennes, making this region easily accessible. The trip takes about 2¼ hours (EUR 52.20). Some trains from Paris branch in Rennes to either Brest or Quimper (4 hrs, 45 mins from Paris, EUR 83), stopping in Vannes (3 hrs, 20 mins from Paris, EUR 62). From Rennes there are frequent regional trains via Dol to St-Malo (55-80 mins, EUR 12.10). You can reach Dinan from Dol (20 mins, EUR 5.50). Change at Auray for Quiberon (train service July and August only; otherwise, bus links, 1 hr, EUR 6.30).
