About La Roche-Bernard

Dating back over a thousand years, the characterful little town of La Roche-Bernard sits on the banks of the Vilaine River, close to Brittany's picturesque Golfe du Morbihan. Once a bustling trading port at the meeting points of the road and river connecting Nantes, Vannes and Redon, this maritime community's fascinating past will delight keen history buffs. With options ranging from laid-back restaurants with rooms to sumptuous ancient residences, our list of the best places to stay in La Roche-Bernard promises intimate gems for families, couples or friends travelling together.

Begin your explorations with a stroll around the old port, where you can tuck into fresh seafood or admire fishing boats and sleek yachts, distinctive rock formations and views from the 40-metre-high footbridge. Visit the Musée de la Vilaine in the Basses-Fosses Castle, amble along the Chemin du Ruicard to see 16th and 17th-century houses, and marvel at the Place du Bouffay's Canon House.

Guided walking tours of the old town, fishing trips and cruises on the Vilaine River all come highly recommended. The surrounding countryside is criss-crossed with trails for hikers, horse riders and cyclists, and there's superb food to be tasted at the best places to stay in La Roche-Bernard.
