This is another popular chain, that I like, it has better prices but less freebies than FNAC for example, but the customer service is tops.
You find here a huge store with plenty of choices even old movies, games etc.

They have sections on small appliances, big appliances, video games, dvd/cd, telephone, computers,TV and other electronics and a very good selection of spare and replacement parts. All major brands are represented in addition tothe store own good value brand Essential B.

What to buy: we go for movie dvd,video games, and small appliances like my camera lol!

What to pay: prices are competitive and when we go we find good deals on what we buy.

La Huche �� Pains at pl des Lices

Well here you can eat too as they do formulas with a sandwich, dessert and soda drink for 6 euros.
However, it is the bread and pastries that you come here and make the trek each time I can from work on my way home.

it is at place des lices, on a maison in wood or maison en bois historical building and two more outlets in Vannes. Update ,this address is under renovation closed until June 2013. They have others in Vannes still open see link.

The bread is done in old oven with local wheat and its just sublime. Its a traditional place so come on over;
Here are the addresses of all their locations,
Vannes centre historique, 23 pl des LIces
Vannes palais des arts, 2 rue du Capitaine Jude
Vannes roundpoint du Pargo, 42 avenue de la Marne
at the nearby towns of Séné, ZAC du Poulfanc, Place des Vosges
and Arradon,ZAC de Bolquelen

What to buy: bread and pastries, the bread 56 like the department we are on. awesome wheat.
eclairs de chocolat, the 3 chocolats paris brest, l'impériale, saint honoré, mille feuilles, etc. as well as the macarons.

What to pay: regular prices as any bakery the best do has its rewards.
