While there are traces of Roman ruins in Rennes, one of the most striking aspects of the city is the magnificent ensemble of lavishly decorated buildings dating as far back as the Medieval era. The historic center also consists of unique 17th and 18th century buildings with store fronts and local businesses. The most visited site in the city today is the Parliament of Brittany where the former court of justice was held. If you plan on traveling outside the city, head north to the Mont Saint Michel, which is the site of the fortified and well-preserved Norman Benedictine Abbey of St. Michel. This spectacular Medieval building was constructed on a rocky island overlooking the English Channel. No matter how you spend your vacation, you will discover a city dotted with gardens, laden with incredible restaurants, and exciting shops in a cityscape composed of unique landmarks and monumental buildings. Getting in and out of Rennes for a richer travel experience is best done by car. Visit our information page to learn more about driving in France.
