We will be spending 3 days in Vannes after being in Concarneau for 3 days. I primarily want to see/experience the Gulf of Morbihan. I also plan to go to Carnac. Other than that and exploring the city itself does anyone have thoughts about place to go; places to eat, etc? I've made a list that includes walking the ramparts, visiting the marina, Carnac and checking out the Saint-Patern neighborhood and possibly the market on Saturday.
Thanks in advance for any input.

I assume you will have a car. Public transport is not great.
Restaurants: Le cafe au port in Benodet. Really good seafood. We like Benodet.
Towns: Pont-Aven is Very nice. Several painters spent time there. Lorient is interesting with a huge U-boat depot from WWII.
Just looked at Benodet and it does sound lovely. I will add that to our itinerary while we are in Concarneau rather than in Vannes. May make a loop of it through Locranon. I'll head the opposite direction to Pont Aven on another day, possibly the market day. Still looking for more interesting spots in the Vannes area though.

We didn't spend much time there in our 2m in Bretagne. Have you considered Nantes instead of Vannes? Bigger town, great ducal museum, interesting cathedral.
I did forget to mention Hennebont which got some mention in the Michelin Green book. Also the Chateau de Josselin which we did not visit unfortunately. That's close to the Foret de Broceliande.
