• Idea 1: WE in Marseille with your dog

For you, Marseille rhymes with the Old Port, the Bonne Mère perched on the basilica of Notre Dame de la Garde, the Château d'IF, the Panier district, the MuCEm, the Calanques or even the beach?

You can also make this pretty town rhyme with canicross on the Corniche, the long path that runs along the Marseille seaside for 3,7 km, from the Catalan beach French Prado beaches. You can also go cani-rando on the hiking trails at the gates of Marseille and in particular in the Calanques national park. Or canipaddle or canoe on the big blue between the Calanques and the islands.

You can stroll and discover all the districts of Marseille with your pet and enjoy a pastis on the terrace followed by a good bouillabaisse.

And to know all the nooks and crannies of Marseille to test with your dog, I advise you to read or reread the article of our two Wouafer's Anaïs and Bowie: The secrets of Marseille to discover with your dog

• Idea 2: WE in Bordeaux with your dog

Ahhh Bordeaux! I spent a few great weekends there when I was still a student. I have fond memories of this city. I loved Place de la Bourse and its famous water mirror. A very nice spot for lovers of beautiful photography. It's one of the favorite corners of Instagrammers who pass through Bordeaux 😉 I loved discovering the pretty city of wine and tasting it, in moderation, Wou'f race! Stroll through the narrow streets around Pey Berland and the Sainte Anne cathedral and especially ride a unicycle on the quays of the Garonne. Yes, you read correctly ! There was a time when I was doing mono. I didn't yet have Musher at that time... so to reveal to you the best corners of Bordeaux to discover with your dog, I suggest you read or reread the article by our two Wouafer's May and Malcom, two super famous Instagrammers: Take your dog to Bordeaux

In addition, dogs are very well received in Aix-en-Provence. All over the city, you will find small fountains where dogs can drink and cool off. There are also canisacs available in the city! Strolling through the old town, strolling along the Cours Mirabeau, discovering the Mazarin district, strolling in Jourdan park, tasting calissons (YUM!!)… there is something for everyone. Whether you are with friends, as a couple or as a family, you will love spending a WE or a few days in Aix en Provence together. The magic of Aix-en-Provence is that you are in a big city.

• Idea 4: WE in Montpellier with your dog

Montpelier! I almost saved the best for last. It is a very pretty city that I take pleasure in discovering or rediscovering regularly. Go discover the Ecusson with your dog: it is the historic medieval district of Montpellier. It is an entirely pedestrian zone with many shaded places perfect for a break on the terrace. The first of the squares to discover is the Place de la Comédie, W'ouf race! Then you can go to the Arc de Triomphe and on the opposite you can discover the Antigone district. What's great about Montpellier is that in a few minutes you can escape to the great outdoors. There are very very pretty corners of the river to explore for fabulous swimming sessions with your dog, superb hikes to do on the Pic Saint Loup for example or in the hinterland.

• Idea 5: WE in Rennes with your dog

I actually saved the best for last. Reindeer! My heart city, in my heart region. BRITTANY! I lived for a few years in Rennes and I loved this pretty city. It is also there that Musher took his first steps.

And if you start your exploration of Rennes with a walk in the park? Your dog will be able to let off steam in the Parc de Maurepas, Parc du Thabor or even the Parc des Tanneurs. Then, head to the historic center of Rennes to discover its pretty half-timbered houses, the Place des Lices and its famous Saturday morning gourmet market, the Portes Mordelaises, the town hall, the quays of the Vilaine, the famous Parliament …

If you have a car, in 45 minutes you will be at Saint Malo, Cancale, Dinan… or in the enchanted forest of Brocéliande. What a joy to walk through this pretty forest with your dog to discover the tales and legends of Brittany. With friends, as a couple or as a family, you will love discovering the Britain together.

I hope I have made you want to discover Rennes and its surroundings over the weekend with your whole family, on two or four legs! I'm looking forward to my next vacation in Brittany to enjoy Rennes and my favorite restaurants in Rennes.
