Fancy discovering Rennes, Brittany's capital? Thanks to the "Discover Rennes" package, you can visit the city and its surrounding area at your own pace and enjoy special offers.

Renowned and visited for its 2,000 years of history, the Metropolitan District of Rennes symbolises Brittany's greatest hours and is home to the Parlement, or law courts, new technology and festivals. Its delightful streets and squares are dotted with quality restaurants and interesting boutiques, and it boasts a superb architectural heritage.

From its narrow streets, lined with colourful half-timbered houses dating from the 15th to 18th centuries, to its royal squares, designed by King Louis XV's architect, Rennes is a showcase for many architectural periods. It features, for example, the Flamboyant Gothic St Yves Chapel, the town houses built for the important men of the law courts and the defensive Mordelaises Gates.

The Parlement de Bretagne deserves your particular attention. This major landmark of Breton heritage conceals a unique example of French 17th-century pictorial art. Sumptuous French-style ceilings, sculpted and gilded wooden panelling and allegorical paintings embellish the outstanding interior.
