"Séjour très agréable et très bon petit déjeuner. J’ai beaucoup apprécié les thés en vrac et les sachets de thé à disposition. De la même manière, j’ai apprécié la proposition du café alternatif à l’orge. Je ne connaissais pas. À une prochaine fois :)"

beutiful place and quite city. I didnt get taxi to airport on weekend. Taxi service is very few, prepare well in time or pre book if you need a taxi.

3/5 - Okay

Verified traveller

Rennes can be seen in half a day, the only reason I would tell people to go here is to use it as a base to get to Mont St Michel - but once that's done, get out of there; there is seriously nothing to do especially on a Sunday when it closes!
