Serviced Apartments in Rennes

Rennes is the capital of Brittany in north-west France and is a fairly large city, with a population of over 200,000 people. The city has plenty of history, some dating back to the Roman era around 2000 years ago, but is also popular with tourists seeking a lively French town. Serviced accommodation in Rennes is commonplace with tourists in good numbers visiting most of the year.

The best time of year to visit Rennes is from May to September, with July and August being the hottest months to visit. Built on a hill at the confluence of two rivers, Rennes is an attractive city and a sunny walk down either of the rivers (the Ille and the Vilaine) is a joy. This vantage point means that many apartment rentals in Rennes come with a great view.

The historic centre of Rennes is home to some of the most wonderful 17th century architecture in France. The example best of which is the Parlement de Bretagne (Parlement of Brittany), a truly grand building which now houses the Rennes Court of Appeal. If you are lucky enough to stay in a traditional Rennes serviced residence, the facade will be classically timber framed as are many buildings on the streets of de Saint-Malo, Saint-Georges and Saint-Guillaume.

As you can see from the street names, religion has played a great part in the foundation of the city which is also reflected by numerous attractive churches and cathedrals. The Saint-Aubin and Saint-Germain Churches are fine examples of this. Also not far from your Rennes city centre (center) apartment is sure to be one of the traditional French squares around which are dotted various cafes and bistros. Squares tend to be the focal points of community life in French cities, and are great to spend time in.

Rennes is also the venue for many annual festivals such as the music festival Les Transmusicales which is a popular event, well-known across France. As with any other popular festival, Rennes serviced apartments tend to be booked out for the duration and so it is worth booking in advance during these busy periods.

It is well-known that the French are very fond of their fine arts and museums. Rennes is no exception, with the Musée des Beaux Arts (Museum of Fine Arts of Rennes) and Musée de Bretagne (Museum of Brittany) being particular highlights. There is also an interesting Museum of Broadcasting within easy walking distance from any Rennes apartment rental.
