Rennes France

With around 60,000 students, the regional capital of Brittany is a dynamic, cultural city. Its superb medieval quarter features narrow, winding streets, two royal squares, imposing public buildings, and numerous mansions with a solemn elegance. Vieux Rennes is the old town that survived the great fire of 1720. Many old houses, some dating back to the 15th century, still proudly display their overhanging upper floors. Particularly noteworthy are Rue Saint-Michel, with its timber-framed houses, Rue de la Psalette and Rue du Chapitre, where you’ll find the Brie and Blossac mansions, as well as the Freslon de la Freslonnière mansion on Rue des Dames. St-Pierre Cathedral stands out for the richness of its interior. Rennes attracts visitors with its unique architecture and remarkably beautiful natural surroundings. At night, this student city offers countless lively spots for a drink, and its restaurants are excellent.
