    The rennes Metro is very new (last 5 years) and is a quick and easy way to get around the city. After Lille and Toulouse, Rennes is the third French city to introduce a VAL metro system (short for Véhicule automatique léger). The first line is a north-south route through the city centre. the metro started operating regularly on 16 March 2002. As a university student is was a great way to get around town. The metro closes fairly late so you can go out till reasonably late then catch the metro home. It is not as big or confusing as in Paris and is more comfortable ,plus the infrastructure is a lot newer.

    The buses are very efficent in rennes but have become much less popular since the advent of the rennes metro system. However it is necessary to take the bus to the outer regions of the cityas the metro is fairly limited in its stops. I ususally live on the outskirts of the city in a place called noyal and i am reuqired to catch the bus. One piece of advice, always travel with a ticket as the controllers love nothing more than to give you a fine. Even if your a foreigner

    The train station in Rennes is both large and modern for a town the size of Rennes. it has an abundance of resturants and shops for all your last minute needs. In the last few years it has also expanded. It is a popular train station because Rennes is the capital of the region and a logical starting point for those who want to travel in the region.

    Probabaly the best way to get to Rennes from Paris is by TGV. the trip is fast, about 3 hours and very efficient. I have done this route many times and can honestly say its the way to go. for information about reservation and prices check out the website

    Rennes is but a two-hour ride on the TGV from Paris. Its modern gare SNCF is located south of the Vilaine, around twenty minutes' walk from the tourist office and a little more from the medieval quarter. The gare routière is immediately east of the gare SNCF on boulevard Solferino.

    Take flight from Paris-Orly (around 50 minutes). Or by train (TGV) from Paris-Montparnasse (around 130 minutes, FF270 for 2nd class). Rent a car (see next) for getting around. Or take train (SNCF) from Rennes to Saint-Malo (around 60 minutes), to Dinan (around 70 minutes, transfer at Dol-de-Bretagne). The picture was taken in Rennes's SNCF station.

  • A highspeed TGV train. - Rennes
    A highspeed TGV train.

    Take the train from Paris. The journey is about 2 hours and the trains (TGV) leave frequently from Paris - Montparnasse station. The station in Rennes is located in the city center with a short walk to the old quarters. You can also go by air from Paris to Rennes but it will probably take much more time than the train. The journey takes (according to the timetable) an hour. There are also directflights to Lyon, the French riviera and London in the UK.

  • As Rennes is a small city you don't have to worry about transportation, you will almost always walk. If you are leaving the city there are buses and recently a small but efficient underground network was inaugurated.
