Place de la République is situated on the western side of the old city area of Vannes. As with almost every square of the same name in France, this is one of the most historically significant and important places in the community. It was here that the guillotine came down on the heads of many aristocracy and royalty during the French Revolution. It is today, a busy place of meeting, full of cafes and bars that are housed in delightful old budings.
