The historic quarter with its characteristic 17th-century half-timbered houses and the magnificent Parliament of Brittany forms the heart of the city. The Jardin du Thabor, one of France's finest parks, and the excellent Breton cuisine with galettes and cider make Rennes an unforgettable travel destination.
