Parc du Thabor

Reviewed By Colophon

We stopped in Rennes on our way to Mont St-Michel. We're so glad we did. Not only did we find this compact town walkable and friendly, but we were pleased to discover its wonderful garden. It was worthy of a couple of hours, even on a brisk, showery day. Set in the site of an old quarry, it rich with water features amid old-growth plantings, with woodsy paths connecting the lower levels to the more formal gardens above. Though it was late in the season, the formal, flowering gardens were still rich with colorful blooms. In the middle of the park, we came upon the lovely aviary and its contributions of amazing colors. Parc du Thabor is a garden worth detouring to visit.

Centre Historique de Rennes

Reviewed By johnshelleyb - Melbourne, Australia

Stayed here 4 nights on an independent tour of the area. We wanted to see how the real people of France lived and I think we got a good glimpse of it staying in a little 1 bedroom apartment in the old town just 150 metres from the railway station. Bought our groceries from the local supermarket and roamed for hours. Great architecture from middle ages up late 1800's and also quite different as you get closer to the coast and see the influence of the British style architecture. Hundreds of little cafes and restaurants and buildings of interest, from the Opera house to cathedrals and council buildings. Good to just wander, sit and take in the atmosphere. Take a train to St Marlo or hire a car for the day and see more of the coast. Visit the Abbey of Mont St Michelle on day trip. A great experience for the independent traveler and so much to keep you occupied.

Marche des Lices

Reviewed By tedp727

One of the great outdoor markets. If you are there on a Saturday it is a must. Plan to buy your picnic. It is almost entirely locals buying their fresh foods for the week, but the vendors were welcoming to tourists and quick to use their English if needed. The cheese stalls are fantastic as are the charcuterie stalls. It is also a good place to buy cuisine souvenirs like special spices or fois gras.

Cathedrale Saint-Pierre

Reviewed By Beto79 - Lille, France

The exterior of the cathedral, although it is beautiful, it is deceiving; the interior is much interesting. The interior is from the XIX century and it is lavish, sumptuous and quite cinematic; If I were a film director I will pick this place for its atmosphere, between luxurious and mysterious. Definitively a must while in Rennes.

This in itself is a good reason to visit Rennes , along with so many others. There is a good representation of schools and eras and some interesting works of well known French artists

Roazhon Park

Reviewed By markhL9711UC - Maidstone, United Kingdom

Visited for the Stade Rennais-PSG whilst on business. Great atmosphere and buzz around the stadium. Really enjoyed the day and the match, you are so close to the pitch and really feel the intensity of it all. Recommend a trip here if you’re a football fan. Free stadium parking 5 minutes from the ground and you don’t feel like a cash cow like in the Premier League!
