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 Saint-Martin-de-Brehal. Get outdoors at Plage du Sillon and Beach of Genets. Get out of town with these interesting Rennes side-trips: Mont-Saint-Michel (Maison Jehan Michel & Mont Saint-Michel), Zoo de Champrepus (in Champrepus) and Nantes (Chateau des Ducs de Bretagne & Les Machines de L'ile). There's lots more to do: hike along Sport Evasion Mont Saint Michel - Day Tours, make a splash at Alligator Bay, admire the sheer force of La Grande Cascade, and join in the after-dark buzz at Golf de Vire la Dathee.
