Trip to Brittany

23nd March 2006

TGV to Rennes, is the capital of the Bretagne, as well as the prefecture of the Ille-et-Vilaine.
The town is built on a hill. It is at the meeting point of two rivers: the Ille and the Vilaine.

The connection from the Station to the Place Saint-Anne is fast (10mn) , nice place.

The Parliament of Brittany, is arguably the most famous building in Rennes.

Colorful traditional timber frame houses are situated primarily around the city center.

I'm living in Plaza of the Lists (Place des Lices) close to "Les Halles Martenot" of the 19th century, host the market of the lists on Saturday mornings (the third market in France).

Culture

Rennes invests heavily in arts and culture and a number of its festivals (such as the music festival Les Transmusicales, les Tombées de la Nuit and Travelling (a cinematic festival)) are well known throughout France.

Rennes is home to Stade Rennais FC, who play at Route de Lorient in the French Premier League.
