Rennes, France

Rennes is a city in northwestern France, located at the confluence of the rivers Ile and Villeneuve. It is the capital of Brittany. The old town centre is situated on a hillside and is rich in remnants of the town's historical past. After the connection with the railway, Rennes became a city that developed at a rather rapid pace.
Unfortunately, the Second World War had a severe impact on the town, from which it is still trying to recover. This has prevented it from being a popular tourist destination, but it is still bustling with life. Many fine buildings can be found in the old part of the city. Its heart beats in the picturesque Le Lis area. It contains the remains of 3rd-century Roman fortifications and some of the 15th-century defensive walls - the Duchenne Tower, Port Mordelez, as well as a twin-towered gate and a drawbridge. Among the religious temples of Rennes, the 11th-century church of Notre Dame en Saint-Melin stands out.
The Place de la République is a square in the spirit of French tradition on which stands the impressive Chamber of Commerce. Undoubtedly the most famous building in Rennes is the Parliament of Brittany. It was rebuilt after a fire in 1994 and houses the Court of Appeal of Rennes.
In Rennes, the unique Saint-Georges floats, an Art Deco masterpiece built in 1925, the UFO-like building of the Cité Judissier, and the quiet and beautifully arranged Tabor garden should not be passed by lightly.
