Rennes is the main city of Brittany, in north-west France, and a good place to look for aparthotels and serviced apartments. It combines a large student population with business travel, and the tourist office lists day trips to Saint-Malo, Mont-Saint-Michel and the Brocéliande forest. A kitchen, a separate living space and laundry facilities make a longer stay easier than a standard hotel room, particularly for families and for people working in the city for a few weeks.

City centre and the Lices
- first-time visitors

The centre is where the Parlement de Bretagne stands, which Wikipedia calls the most famous 17th-century building in Rennes. The tourist office points to the historic centre's colourful half-timbered houses in pedestrianised streets and to the Saturday-morning Marché des Lices street market. It is the best base for first-time visitors who want to walk everywhere.

Getting around Rennes
Wikipedia says Rennes-Saint-Jacques Airport is 7 km south-west of the city centre, and that TGV services have linked Rennes to Paris in 1 hour 27 minutes since July 2017; the city tourist office gives 1 hour 25 minutes. Wikivoyage lists hourly trains from Paris Montparnasse and regional connections to Saint-Malo, Nantes and Brest.
Wikipedia describes the original driverless VAL metro line as 9.4 km long with 15 stations, and says a second line, Line B, opened on 20 September 2022 after eight years of construction. Wikivoyage names the STAR network as the public transport operator, with bus lines, two metro lines and bike hire under the STAR le vélo name, and describes the city as walkable. The tourist office says a ticket for the bus and metro network gives one hour of unlimited travel across the whole network.
Living in Rennes for longer
For a stay of several weeks, an apartment close to a metro station keeps the centre, the station and the university quarters within easy reach. The tourist office highlights the Saturday-morning Marché des Lices as a street market experience.
With about 63,000 students according to Wikipedia, the city has an academic calendar that shapes the rhythm of the year, so check your dates against term time if you want a quieter or busier city.
