Immerse yourself in the medieval world of Saint-Patern<\/strong><\/h2>

The Saint-Patern district is the oldest in the town of Vannes. Saint-Partern is located on the site of the town founded many years ago by the Romans in the 1st century AD.er<\/sup>\u00a0century BC.<\/p>

Today, it's one of the most picturesque districts in Vannes, with streets whose names are each more evocative than the last: Rue du Four, Rue de la Tannerie... Names that still remind us of the diversity of traders present in this district in the Middle Ages.<\/p>

Postcard shots of timber-framed houses<\/strong><\/h3>

Many\u00a0timber-framed houses<\/strong>\u00a0always bear witness to this\u00a0medieval past<\/strong>. These period houses are just as pretty as each other and have always given colour to the town of Vannes. You may already have noticed that most half-timbered houses have a first floor higher than the ground floor. In the Middle Ages, this was a common architectural feature, as it left a sufficiently wide passageway for the public thoroughfare and gave the upper floors more floor space. What's more, in the past, residents only paid taxes based on their floor area.<\/p>

As a little anecdote, most of the houses have different coloured facades, because at the time, few residents knew how to read. Like the signs, the colours helped them to find their way around the neighbourhood.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
