Things to Do in Rennes

In my opinion in the most beautiful sqaure in Rennes. It is beautiful with its coblestone road and is situated in the vieux cartier of Rennes. It is home to the beautiful opera house of Rennes It is lovely to go for strolls at night in this particualar place. There are always samll shops where you can bye french fries and waffles. Its also a place which has seen itsfair few political demonstrations, particularly from disgruntled farmers. In my opinion a must see.

La Salle Ominsports has become a icon in Rennes as it showcases some of the worlds best musicians when they come to Rennes. It has played to the likes of Nirvana, Bob Dylan, David Bowie,U2, Renaud and many others. It has become one of my favorite live music theatres. From the outside it isnt the preetiest of places but inside the accoustics are great and its very compact meaning your close to the action making for a great show.

the beautiful opera house of Rennes was built in the The 19th century and is located in the centre of the town at the lovely "place de la mairie" The Opera in Rennes aims at attractive a more youthful audience and incorporates contemporary theatre in its seasons. I always found it to be a very dignified looking building and was always a nice piece of Eye candy.

	Les Braderies	Tip Rating:

on April 11, 2005

Rennes is also quite famous for its street markets, usually coming out about the time of july. Some of the streets are closed off and people come out and sell their goods. Fir a small fee the residents of Rennes can sell their old odds and ends or arts and crafts they have made. Its is also a good place to get bragains on old records and cd's etc. the two main street markets are the braderie centre ville, and the braderie st therese. If your lucky there will also be some live music on the streets or people playing bongoes and the likes. All in all its a very festive experience, i used to love it.

Rennes Cathedral

The cathedral of Rennes was rebuilt in a pseudo-Ionic style between 1787 and 1844 on the site of two churches dating originally from the 4th century. The west side has twin towers was completed in 1700 and is in the Renaissance style. The interior is richly decorated, a German altar-piece of the 15th century is worth seeing for its carving and gilding. The archbishops palace occupies part of the site with the abbey dedicated to St Melaine, a large statue of the Virgin was placed above its dome in 1867.

Half Timber Houses

Rennes being consumed by fire in 1720, was rebuilt in the severe classical style of the time, elegant and somewhat formal. One of the most beautiful architechtural complexes arose here in the eighteenth century while the picturesque neighborhoods with half-timbered houses are a reminder of its medieval heritage.

Rue St. George

Rennes' old quarter, with its surviving cobblestone streets and half-timbered, 15th- and 16th-century Renaissance and medieval houses, is the liveliest part of the city. Cafes, boutiques and crepe houses occupy many of the old buildings and it is here where you will find the most spirited nightlife. Look for the bar in the old jail.
