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