For some reason, I initially thought this was the old railways station of Rennes, but it turns out this is actually the old post office. This photo was taken just where the river is concreted over to make space for a market.

Rennes is a bustling city with plenty of cafe’s shops, museums and culture, but not ruined by masses of tourists as is the case with Paris.
The centre of Rennes is completely pedestrianized. It’s odd being in a bustling city centre and not seeing any cars about.
The city centre of Rennes is made up of cobbled streets and squares between 17th and 18th century buildings, and this is not even regarded as the old quarter of the city.
In the main square there was a bungee rope set up from a crane. I didn’t have a go as I refuse to entrust my life to a spotty teenage bungee operator and a length of rope.
The main square of Rennes.

Our car was parked down this street.
No city can officially call itself a city if it doesn’t have an Irish pub.
