Vannes (Van)- an ancient port city-fortress, located in, in the north-west of France (100 km from), whose history goes back over 2000 years. The name Van comes from the Celtic tribes of the Veneti, who were conquered by Roman troops. For a long time, Van remained a French enclave in Brittany, although it has now become entirely Breton in culture. Now Van has the status of "City of Art and History" (Ville d'Art et d'Histoire).
In ancient times, Vannes was called Dariorigum, or Civitas Venetorum (as the main city of the Venetians), in the late Roman and Frankish eras - Veneti, in the Middle Ages - Venedi, Venetum, Venetia. The Breton dukes placed their residence in the city of Vannes; later, the Parliament of Brittany met here.

The bell tower of the former Romanesque church of the 13th century has been preserved. The façade was carved in 1857 in neo-Gothic style.

Chateau de l'Hermine
Château de l'Hermine (or Hôtel Lagorce) - built in 1785.

Under Louis XIII, the castle was abandoned and partially destroyed. Louis XIV donated the hamok to the city of Vannes in 1697. The stones of the fortress were used to restore buildings in the city and build port docks. The fortress was almost completely in ruins when the city sold the area to Julien Lagorce, who built the current hotel there. In 1874, the building served as an artillery school and the headquarters of the General Treasury until 1974, when it returned to the city of Van and was turned into the Morbihan Law University. The Cultural Institute of Brittany is located here.

In the eastern part of Turkey, not far from the borders with Iran and Armenia, there is an amazing soda lake Van. Local residents, admiring the huge size of the reservoir, began to call it the Van Sea. This is the largest lake on the peninsula of Asia Minor and the fourth largest in the world among closed lakes. Due to the high content of salt and soda in the water (according to this indicator, Lake Van has no equal on the planet), the reservoir does not freeze even at very low temperatures.
Lake Van is located in the south of the Armenian Highlands at an altitude of 1648 meters above sea level. According to the most popular version, Lake Van appeared on the world map as a result of a powerful eruption of the Nemrut and Syupkhan volcanoes. The total area of the lake is about 3.7 thousand square kilometers.
In appearance, Wang remotely resembles an irregular triangle. The narrow shallow northern part sharply protruding into the land contrasts sharply with the wide and deep southern side of the lake. The average depth of the lake is about 160 meters, while the maximum reaches 450 meters. The water surface of the reservoir is dotted with dozens of islands, the largest of which are Atrek, Akhtamar, Charpanak and Gadir. Akhtamar is especially popular with tourists, where a unique monument of Armenian architecture, the Church of the Holy Cross, has been preserved. The waters of Van are renewed thanks to the rivers Karash, Michinger, Bendimakhi and Zeylan-Beresi flowing into the lake.
The first state located in close proximity to the lake was Urartu. Archaeologists believe that the ancient capital of Urartu, Tushpa, was located on the site of the modern city of Van. Today, the reservoir is located on the territory of Turkish Kurdistan - the poorest region of the country.
A ferry runs along the lake, which is part of the railway route from Turkey to Iran.
At the entrance to the lake, tourists can see an amazing landscape of colorful fruit trees growing on the shore, schools of migratory birds and clear sky-colored water. The coast of Lake Van is the habitat of the rare Van cat, which is a national treasure of Turkey. Unlike other representatives of its species, this cat loves water treatments.
