Car Hire Saint Brieuc - Mini guide to Saint Brieuc

Saint Brieuc

Saint-Brieuc is the capital of the Côtes d'Armor department in Brittany and boasts stunning parks, beautiful ravines and a historic fishing port. The town sees many visitors arrive every year and as such, there is an excellent tourist infrastructure in place.

There are a number of sights to view once you are in the town, with the most popular being the 14th century tower which dominates the skyline above the bay. If you are a lover of historical architecture, you will find many fine examples in the centre of the town. Most of the picturesque old houses date back to the 14th and 15th centuries and now house shops, cafés and restaurants.

Saint-Brieuc was formerly primarily a working town, with little time for tourists. It is still to some extent an industrial town, but its unique charm and beauty is beginning to draw people from across Europe. There is also a lively art and music scene with free concerts held throughout the summer months. A number of talented acts from across France headline here at festivals.

In order to really take advantage of the surrounding countryside, you need to hire a car. This will let you explore the valleys at your own pace, making daytrips as well as overnight excursions as you please. The nearby resorts of Binic and Le Val Andre are popular and not far by car.

There are buses available, but services aren’t frequent. The city centre itself is very small and easy to get around on foot. Walking tours are available or you could follow your own itinerary and see the sights by rental car. Booking car hire in advance online is convenient and cost-effective.
