Attraction

Jardin Botanique du Thabor

Green and marvelous in the Parc du Thabor. A true emerald in the center of Rennes, both a French garden and an English park, about ten minutes’ drive from your Première Classe Rennes Sud Est hotel, the Parc du Thabor is a unique and charming place. Having once been owned by an abbey and subsequently landscaped by Denis Bühler in the 19th century, the park has retained a softness and calm that attracts strollers wishing to escape the hustle and bustle of the busy streets, lovers looking for discretion, tourists and casual walkers. It seems that there is always a good reason for being there, and just as many reasons to go back to it as its 25 acres contain many natural and architectural treasures: bandstand, grotto, waterfall, aviary and even a rose garden with more than 2,000 different varieties of flowers. Perhaps they are responsible for the sweet scent in the air, which makes the park so welcoming. Or maybe it's the bandstand, whose subtle architecture hosts numerous concerts throughout the year. Like a soothing balm, the notes and smells envelop you. You feel good.

Museum

Les Champs Libres - Museum of Brittany

In Rennes, spend the time you have available at the Champs Libres. Located near the train station, the Champs libres center is a popular place for culture and tourism in Rennes. From your Première Classe Rennes Sud Est hotel, you can reach it in less than 15 minutes by car. Designed by the Rennes architect Christian de Portzamparc, the Champs libres center includes the Musée de Bretagne, the Espace des sciences, exhibition halls and the library. Discover the history of Brittany through temporary exhibitions that focus on the artifacts. In the Espace des sciences, the planetarium provides a unique experience: A journey through the space narrated in real time by the guides. If you are under 26 years old, ask for information: some sessions are free. Finally, admission to the library is also free. The library is spread over six floors. Take a seat in the various spaces, move from one floor to the other by browsing through the temporary exhibitions on the staircase, leaf through magazines, books, comic strips, enjoy the WiFi. And don't forget to admire the unique panoramic view of the city.

Museum

Museum of Fine Arts of Rennes

Admire some masterpieces at the Museum of Fine Arts of Rennes. From your Première Classe Rennes Sud Est hotel, drive to the city center to visit the Museum of Fine Arts of Rennes. Located in the heart of the city, in the former university building built in the 19th century, the Museum of Fine Arts of Rennes is one of the must-see places to visit in Rennes. Set up after the Revolution, it draws most of its wealth from the cabinet of curiosities of Christophe-Paul de Robien, president of the Parliament of Brittany. The latter contained one of the richest collections in Europe including paintings, sculptures, Egyptian, Greek and Celtic antiquities, art objects from all continents and drawings by illustrious Italian artists such as Leonardo da Vinci, Botticelli, Donatello and Michelangelo. The collection of European paintings from the 14th to 18th centuries is also worth a visit, with masterpieces such as The Newborn by Georges de La Tour or Rubens' Tiger Hunt. Then the 19th century period is illustrated through works by Caillebotte, Sisley, Gauguin or Sérusier. For the contemporary period, you can admire Picasso's La Baigneuse à Dinard, as well as works by Sam Francis and Nicolas de Staël. A special place is given to contemporary artists from the region such as the Morbihan painter Geneviève Asse and the poster artists from the New Realism, Raymond Hains and Jacques Villeglé.

Monument

Rennes Opera House

At the Rennes opera house, navigate between lyricism and guitar riffs. From your Première Classe Rennes Sud Est hotel, head for the historic center of Rennes. Situated on the Place de la Mairie, opposite the town hall, you will notice the Rennes Opera House, which is distinguished by its circular form. Although the building did not meet with unanimous approval when it opened in 1836, the people of Rennes quickly became attached to their "Theater", as they called it. Moreover, the public's support is still very much alive today, as evidenced by the attendance rate for lyrical evenings, which is close to 100%. If you've never been to the opera, take advantage of the "Revise Your Classics" evenings. For a very affordable rate, you can attend a one-hour concert during which a narrator tells the story of an opera or musical. The characters intervene and sing extracts, accompanied by piano or a small musical ensemble. A great introduction to opera! And if you're not too keen on operatic music, have a look at the program of events: the Rennes opera house offers unusual concerts, such as the Opera Night Fever, a free evening combining punk and rock bands from the Rennes scene with opera singers. Mind-blowing!

Attraction

Parc des Expositions de Rennes-Aéroport

Attend the biggest fest-noz in Brittany at the Parc des Expositions. From your Première Classe Rennes Chantepie hotel, you are only 20 minutes by car from the Parc des Expositions de Rennes. The complex hosts various shows, including the Rennes International Fair, which takes place every spring and welcomes around 100,000 visitors over 10 days. Around ten thematics are covered such as animals, gastronomy, habitat, decoration, sports, leisure, garden, caravanning etc. Each year, a guest country is honored. In addition, the Parc des expositions organizes concerts at the MusikHall. Visit the biggest fest-noz in Brittany! It is held every year in November during the closing night of the Yaouank festival (which means "young" in Breton). This festival runs in several locations in the city throughout the month of November. Taking part in Yaouank means being immersed in the world of Breton culture, hearing Breton spoken here and there, in a group of friends, on stage or behind a counter, dancing with hundreds of people to the rhythm of accordion, bagpipes, bombard, violin, Celtic harp or singing (kan-ha-diskan) and discovering the emerging Breton scene.

Attraction

Parliament of Brittany

The Parliament of Brittany, emblem of Rennes and the region. Built between 1615 and 1655 based on the plans of Salomon de Brosse (to whom we also owe the Palais du Luxembourg in Paris), the Parliament of Brittany is both an architectural and heritage jewel that is well worth a visit. Following a fire in 1994, it is undergoing a five-year restoration campaign which will restore the building in its entirety. Inside, you will discover French-style ceilings, carved and gilded woodwork, allegorical canvases, a Gobelins tapestry and also the superb Grand'Chambre. It has a carved coffered ceiling whose canvases were created by Noël Coypel and designed by Charles Errard, a painter for Louis XIV who was involved in the decorative work at Versailles. The Parliament of Brittany is one of the rare buildings in France to feature an undamaged composition by the artist. It is therefore one of the painter's major works and an exceptional example of 17th century pictorial art. To better understand the history and the works that adorn the walls, guided tours are offered. Before returning to your Première Classe Rennes Sud Est hotel, take advantage of the streets of the city center and the charming shops with their colorful fronts.

Family trip to Rennes

Just arrived in Brittany? Drop your cases in your affordable hotel room, and head out to explore Rennes. There are so many stories to hear, and things to see in this thousand-year-old city. As you wander the streets, you’ll see the Palais du Commerce, city hall, the opera house, Rennes Cathedral, the Jacobin Convent — where you’ll also find the tourist office — and medieval half-timber houses. On Saturday mornings, head to the market in Place des Lices to sample some of the region’s culinary specialties.

If you’re staying in our hotels in Rennes for a whole week, save some time to check out some of the city’s iconic landmarks. City hall, the opera house and the cathedral are a must-see trio on a trip to Rennes. A stroll through the medieval streets and Places des Lices makes for a charming addition to the route. Lovers of art, history and heritage should head to the Museum of Fine Arts, the Brittany Museum, and the Criée modern art center. The city is also full of gorgeous parks, like the Parc du Thabor, and an ecomuseum not far from your hotel.

Take your family to Rennes for a wild weekend or week-long stay. There are endless activities for you all to enjoy in the city. Visitors young and old will love the Champs Libres with its science center, museum on Brittany, media library, exhibitions and planetarium. Or do you need to let off some steam? The Parc des Gayeulles has an ice rink, pool, a trail through the trees, a mini golf course and more. Younger kids will especially love an outing to the Ecomuseum. After a whirlwind day, head back to your hotel room for a restful night’s sleep…ready to do it all over again.

A gourmet stay with a Breton touch

To really immerse yourself in Breton culture, trying out the area’s culinary specialties is a must. Start at breakfast time, with the famous Breton salted butter. You’ll find it on the all-you-can-eat buffet at your hotel. Next, head off to sniff out some salted caramel, kouign amann, and other Breton goodies at the Marché des Lices. Tradition has it that you sample the unbeatable galette-saucisse at least once. Parlementins are a slightly newer addition to the block: an apple, almond and cider sponge cake. It was created in 1999 by Rennes pastry chefs, and is only available in certain stores.

Unmissable events in Renne

A vibrant city, the diverse line-up events on offer in Rennes comes thick and fast. During your visit to our Première Classe hotels, taking in one of the many festivals and shows is a must. Here, music is everything... Les Rencontres Trans Musicales, Quartiers d'Été, Rock'n Solex and Jazz à l'Ouest get bigger each and every year. The rest of the arts do also get a look-in, with the Travelling film festival, Tombées de la Nuit, the Rue des Livres, and many other events besides. There’s the opera house, too, where you can catch plays, ballets and more all year round.

Anecdote about Rennes

You’ll have seen by now that the galette-saucisse is practically an institution in Rennes. But do you know the half of it? Keep an eye out as you walk round the Marché des Lices. The price of this specialty is the same at every stand — it’s actually regulated. Fans of this fabulous snack have even requested that a statue of it be put up! But the greatest honor paid to the galette-saucisse is undoubtedly the anthem sung in the Roazhon Park soccer stadium that starts with the sweet words “Galette-saucisse I love you, I eat kilos and kilos of you!”
