About Rennes

Brittany is one of the 13 regions of continental France. With 3 million inhabitants, it is one of the less populated of French regions.The regional capital is the beautiful city of Rennes.

In 1720, ravaged by a horrific fire, most of old Rennes was burnt down. However some authentic pockets remain, in particular the streets around Place Ste-Anne are still lined with half-timbered houses.

With many restaurants and bars to suit all palates and budgets Rennes offers a wide variety of cuisine with Breton specialties a must to try, and after a meal why not visit one of the many museums and galleries situated around Rennes.
