Welcome to Rennes, the vibrant capital of Brittany. Lying along the banks of the rivers Ille and Vilaine in northwest France, Rennes is a charming mix of history, culture and innovation. 

The old town, with its narrow cobbled streets and half-timbered houses, invites you on a stroll through centuries of history. Be amazed by the beauty of the iconic Rennes Cathedral, a masterpiece of Gothic architecture, and explore the grandeur of the Parliament of Brittany, reflecting the political significance of the city.

Rennes has numerous museums, galleries and theatres; the collections housed in the Museum of Fine Arts are not to be missed, whilst music fans should take in a concert at the Opera House or (if you’re around during the first week of December) spend an evening at the Trans Musicales festival, which celebrates up-and-coming musicians from all over the world.

If you’d like to taste some excellent local specialities, the best thing would be to visit the city’s lively markets, such as the Marché des Lices, where traders sell a wide range of fresh products and regional delicacies.

In addition to its historical and cultural heritage, Rennes is also renowned as a centre of innovation and technology. Home to major universities and research institutes, the city promotes a dynamic ecosystem of startups and entrepreneurial initiatives. Explore the revolutionary projects that are shaping the future, at venues such as L’Espace des Sciences and Les Champs Libres, a cultural complex dedicated to science, literature and multimedia content.

Discover the treasures of this dynamic city, where the past and future come together in perfect harmony, and make it your base for visiting the beautiful region of Brittany, with its charming, jagged coastline, its historical sites and its picturesque medieval towns.

Merci et bientôt à Rennes!
