Ways to save
- Visit in the shoulder seasons (May-June or September-October) for cheaper accommodation, saving 20-30% on hotel rates that can go from 100u20ac+ in peak season to 70-80u20ac.
- Utilize regional trains (TER) and local buses for inter-city travel; a train ticket from Rennes to Saint-Malo might cost around 15-20u20ac, significantly less than renting a car for a day which can be 50u20ac+.
- Prioritize crêperies and local markets for meals; a galette or crêpe can be found for 5-10u20ac, whereas a full restaurant meal can easily exceed 20-25u20ac per person.
- Look for gîtes or self-catering apartments for accommodation, especially for longer stays, as preparing some of your own meals can save 10-15u20ac per person per day compared to eating out for every meal.
- Explore free attractions like the coastal paths (GR34), historic town centers (e.g., Dinan, Quimper), and beaches; many museums offer free entry on the first Sunday of the month, saving 5-10u20ac per entry.
- Buy fresh produce and local specialties from farmer's markets (e.g., Marché des Lices in Rennes) for snacks and picnics, costing around 5-10u20ac for a full picnic vs. 15-20u20ac for a casual restaurant lunch.
