8 days in Rennes Itinerary

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

Kids will appreciate attractions like Parc du Thabor and Plage du Sillon. Get outdoors at Sport Evasion Mont Saint Michel - Day Tours and Pointe D'Agon. Get out of town with these interesting Rennes side-trips: Nantes (Chateau des Ducs de Bretagne & Les Machines de L'ile), Mont-Saint-Michel (Maison Jehan Michel & Mont Saint-Michel) and Zoo de Champrepus (in Champrepus). And it doesn't end there: enjoy the sand and surf at Plage Saint-Martin-de-Brehal, make a splash at Alligator Bay, admire the sheer force of La Grande Cascade, and tour the pleasant surroundings at Beach of Genets.

For where to stay, traveler tips, and other tourist information, refer to the Rennes trip planner.
