Rennes Hotels

As the capital and de facto face of Brittany, Rennes is profuse with telltale Breton charm. Consequently, from a vibrant arts and culture scene to restaurants and live music, Rennes is the perfect place to take Brittany’s pulse and get a feel for its singular character. Visitors with keen eyes may notice traces of Roman landmarks still left in the city of 210,000 people, with a decent ensemble of medieval gems as well. Above all else, however, the best points of interest in Rennes include the Parliament of Brittany, Basilica Saint-Sauveur, Museum of Fine Arts, Place du Vau-Saint-Germain and a first-rate cultural steward in the Brittany Museum. For a memorable night out on the town, thirsty locals and tourists alike make a beeline for the self-explanatory rue de La Soif.
