    A large and beautiful park with lots of trees and lovely floral displays. Sadly the greenhouses were closed to the public.

    Parking is difficult but the area is amazing. Nice old houses and shops plus the historic cathedral . Buildings unusual. See photos.

    The market in Lices is close to the cathedral. It’s a vast market and both outdoor and indoor. Lots of food and fish (but smelly). Interesting and very local.

    he “Saint-Pierre cathedral” in Rennes is a “Roman catholic cathedral”, located in the heart of the city of Rennes.It is the seat of the archdiocese of Rennes, Dol and Saint-Malo. Built in a Classical style, it is one of the nine historic cathedrals of Brittany. Classified as a historical monument since October 1961.
    The present location of the cathedral was already been used as a seat of a bishopric and this since the 6th century. It is likely that it was built in place of an older sanctuary. The old building was completely replaced by a Gothic church in the 12th century.

    A free museum which offers a nice diversion for a couple of hours. It is very much a provincial museum with a small archeological museum of ancient Egyptian and Ancient Greek artefacts and ceramics. The art collection ranges from medieval to contemporary, there is the occasional notable piece in the impressionist/pre-impressionist/modern including Sisley, Picasso and Gris.

    During our 3 days in Rennes we went to the Brittany Museum in Rennes two afternoons on the trot, as we didn’t see as much as we wanted the first time. (Purely because we were a bit knackered.) Les Champs Libres is a truly stunning creation and it seems to be extremely well-used, by people of different ages, including students with their noses to the grind-stone. If you like museums, architecture and/or a good cafe with interesting home-made comestibles don’t miss this.

    The mix of interesting textural handscape and varied flowers, veggies, succulents, fruit bushes, grasses and trees was exciting and peaceful. Must visit…truly one of a kind.

    This museum is to be found in the library building (an amazing sight in itself) and is well worth a visit.
    It is free to enter and well set out. Most things have explanations in English and the space is modern and well
    thought through. We learned a lot about Brittany from its most ancient beginnings onwards.

    After traveling around european cities, it was refreshing to walk around the beautiful French countryside at Ecomusee Du Pays de Rennes. Our Taxi driver gave us a strange look at why we would want to be dropped off here, but us four girls wanted to see this museum and its gorgeous Froment Du Leon cows. We were not disappointed. Do take a picnic and plenty of water. We walked along paths and admired the well kept grounds, gardens and livestock. The staff were amazing!!! Very kind and welcoming. Unfortunately we don't speak any French but that didn't stop Jean-Paul from giving us an excellent tour, letting us hold a baby lamb, and arranging for us to meet Thierry, a herd owner of the beautiful cows. We had a wonderful time with Thierry and thank Him Immensely for his hospitality, kindness, and letting us see his herd.
    Pretty much all the museum descriptions are in French but they also have nice pictures and displays to look at. Well worth your time if your in Rennes. A wonderful Museum, we loved it. Thank You so much!!!!

    Very clean and tidy with a good variety of shops. There is a small play area for children outside. There is lots of free parking but I personally think that it is not close enough to walk to the old city.
