Rennes Centre
Capital of the Ille-et-Vilaine department and of the region of Brittany, Rennes is located 55km south of the English Channel.
An authentic student town, Rennes has maintained a significant medieval and classical heritage. In the historic centre, the Portes Mordelaises – a castle entrance gate which formed part of the town’s old fortifications – loom large. Among the 90 buildings classified as “historic monuments”, tourists can admire the Duchesne Tower, the Notre-Dame-en-Saint-Melaine church, the Place du Parlement-de-Bretagne, and the numerous impressive facades of buildings in the Old Town.
