Rennes, France-Brittany
It boasts a Medieval air with its half-timbered houses, Mordelaises gates, and a drawbridge around what is left of the old fortifications, as well as the Duchesne Tower and its 15th century rampart. In 1720, a fire destroyed three quarters of Rennes, leading to a reorganisation of the city. This reconstruction was entrusted to engineer Isaac Robelin. A touch of modernity can be seen in the areas surrounding the squares home to the City Hall and Parliament.
In terms of culture, the Champs Libre< /i> holds the Museum of Brittany and the 'Espace des Science' and its planetarium.
Valued for its promenades and gardens (Thabor, Oberthür, Tanneurs, and Beauregard), Rennes offers relaxation and simplicity.
