Getting to Brittany from abroad: train, plane or ferry

Brittany has no major international airport, and it is often the first question our clients from abroad ask: which way in? There are three gateways, each with its advantages.

Through Paris, then by train

This is the most common route. From Montparnasse station, the high-speed train reaches Rennes in about an hour and a half, then continues to Saint-Malo, Saint-Brieuc, Vannes or Lorient. Your driver is waiting at the station where you arrive.

After a long flight, the train spares you the road: you rest during the journey, and your driver takes over as soon as you arrive in Brittany.

Through the regional airports

Rennes, Nantes and Brest have scheduled flights, some of them international depending on the season. Lorient, Dinard, Vannes, Saint-Brieuc and Angers airports mainly receive private and business aviation.

The choice depends on your final destination: Rennes for Saint-Malo and Mont-Saint-Michel, Nantes for the south coast and the Gulf of Morbihan, Brest for Finistère. By private flight, Dinard, Lorient or Vannes bring you closer still.

By sea

Saint-Malo is linked by ferry to England and the Channel Islands. It is a very pleasant way to arrive: the ship docks facing the ramparts, a short walk from the old town.

And then?

Once you are here, distances are reasonable, but the most beautiful places are rarely served by train. Having a chauffeur at your disposal lets you link the north and south coasts, the islands and the historic towns, without a thought for the road.
