Today, the city of Rennes is lively and amusing. There are three major museums that should not be missed: The Musee des Beaux Arts, Ecomusee du Pays de Rennes and the Musee de Bretagne. As with most French cities, Rennes has preserved its beautiful cathedral, and the area around it contains some more of its major historical attractions.

Thanks to the local university, Rennes enjoys the young and lively spirit of a students' town. Nightlife is wild and entertaining, with plenty of clubs, bars and pubs open until early in the morning. For fun lovers, St. Malo and St. Michel streets are recommended for the highest concentration of entertainment spots. And if you are a culinary fan, St. Georges street is a place of many delights. A myriad of excellent restaurants offering local and international cuisine will amaze you with their gastronomic mastery.

Some dismiss Rennes as having lost most of its personality and characteristic atmosphere. In fact, it has become a modern town, though not as imposing and huge as many of the other urban centers of Europe. Its cozy elegance and harmony with the past makes it even more delightful and pleasant, and most of all, vibrating with its own unique energy.
