36 days in Rennes Itinerary

Many tour guides skip Rennes, a "City of Art and History," but that doesn't mean you should.

You'll explore the less-touristy side of things at Centre Historique de Rennes and Musee des Beaux-Arts (Fine Arts Museum). Satisfy your inner culture vulture at Chateau de Fougeres and Les Champs Libres. Venture out of the city with trips to Eglise Saint Leonard (in Fougeres), Eglise Notre-Dame-des-Champs (in Avranches) and Bayeux War Cemetery (in Bayeux). There's much more to do: get a sense of history and politics at Parlement de Bretagne, slough off your stress at Awelys Spa Privatif, take in the spiritual surroundings of Cathedrale Saint-Pierre, and pick up some local products at Marche des Lices.
