Watch 360° video mapping combined with musical performances
Step into the proud heart of Brittany in Rennes, the lively capital where the grand Parlement de Bretagne (former Breton Parliament) stands in magnificent 17th-century splendor with its richly decorated courtroom and dramatic fire-damaged yet restored façade, while the perfectly preserved medieval half-timbered houses of the old town—especially around Place des Lices and Rue Saint-Michel—create one of France’s most charming and photogenic historic districts. Wander the elegant Place des Lices (site of France’s second-largest weekly market) lined with lively cafés and the imposing Cathédrale Saint-Pierre with its twin towers and ornate interior, explore the cutting-edge Les Champs Libres cultural complex with its science museum, planetarium, and art exhibitions, or simply soak up the youthful, creative atmosphere of a city that perfectly balances rich Breton traditions (fest-noz dances, galettes, and cider), modern architecture, and the warm, welcoming hospitality of Ille-et-Vilaine just 1.5 hours from Paris by TGV.
Savor hearty galette complète with ham and melted cheese, sweet crêpes with salted butter caramel, rich kouign-amann pastry, and crisp Breton cider amid lively market stalls, medieval timber frames, and the unmistakable rhythm of a city that feels both historic and fiercely alive.
Rennes isn’t just a destination—it’s Brittany’s most vibrant fusion of medieval charm, Breton culture, and unstoppable modern energy—plan your Rennes escape today!
