Rennes

Pop festivals, student life, medieval streets: some of the things that spring to mind when you try to capture the essence of Brittany's capital city. But if Rennes is best known for its rock and pop festivals, it has a lot more to offer the visitor: its peaceful café terraces, its original architecture and its fondness for contemporary art. An attractive place to live, but also perfect for a short break! And with some of Brittany’s little “gems” within easy reach.
