Famous Landmarks
Parliament of Brittany
48.1173°N, 1.6778°W
The Parliament of Brittany, completed in 1655, is a masterpiece of French classical architecture now housing the Rennes Court of Appeal. Severely damaged by fire in 1994, it was restored over ten years, and its painted ceilings by Coypel and Errard rank among the most remarkable in France.
Place des Lices
48.1173°N, 1.6778°W
The Place des Lices hosts one of the largest markets in France every Saturday morning, with over 300 stalls. Lined with 17th-century half-timbered houses and granite mansions, this historic square was once the site of medieval jousting tournaments, which gave it its name.
Thabor Park
48.1173°N, 1.6778°W
Thabor Park covers 10 hectares in the heart of Rennes, combining a French formal garden, an English landscape garden, a rose garden, and a botanical garden. Created in the 19th century by landscape architect Denis Bühler on the former orchard of Saint-Melaine Abbey, it is considered one of the finest public gardens in western France.
