A fun game to play in Rennes: count the half-timbered houses you see in a single day, then choose your favourite among them! Feeling tempted? Good news, Paris Rennes buses are so cheap that you can come back several times to play again!
What's more, Mont Saint Michel isn't far from Rennes (even though it's actually in Normandy, see for yourself!). It only takes an hour's drive to go see it.
Back in Rennes, the Musée des Beaux-Arts will delight every art lover! Not a fan of art? Then how about hopping aboard a Rennes Nantes bus and discovering the wonders of Nantes! Tempted?
Rennes is the flagship destination of Brittany. This lively student city means you can go out every night on Rue de la Soif (Rue Saint Michel) for a drink with other travellers and locals too. Just a reminder that alcohol abuse is dangerous for your health. Plus, you'll probably want to explore the city the next day, so try to avoid a hangover! But if you're not feeling your best in the morning, don't worry. There are plenty of good restaurants in Rennes. You'll easily find a delicious brunch to set you right.
Getting some Breton air during a weekend in Rennes does you a world of good. You can wander through Vieux Rennes (Old Rennes), where you'll see lots of half-timbered houses. You should also walk past the Parlement de Bretagne, which is very pretty.
In the afternoon, head to Les Champs-Libres. It's a cultural space bringing together a library, a museum, a planetarium and a science space. There's something for everyone, including you!
What's more, nothing is easier than visiting the whole of Brittany from Rennes. Mont Saint Michel isn't far (we know very well it's actually in Normandy, but it's only an hour's drive from Rennes), and also Saint Malo, Vannes, Brest, and other lovely towns are there to discover. Don't wait any longer!
Heading off for a weekend in Rennes isn't very complicated with our bus comparator. There are several Paris Rennes departures every day, and a Nantes Rennes costs almost nothing. Other starting points are also possible, such as a Lyon Rennes or even a Caen Rennes!
