With a large number of well-known artistic centres (Théâtre national de Bretagne, Grand Huit, Théâtre de la Ville, Musée des Beaux-Arts, Musée de Bretagne), Rennes plays a vital role in regional productions thanks to the Brittany orchestra, the Théâtre Chorégraphique de Rennes et Bretagne, and also to the numerous people working in pictures and comic strips, cinema and photography, and music and theatre. The “Transmusicales” and “Tombées de la nuit” are annual events that show this dynamism.

Rennes as a cultural capital

Rennes is situated at the confluence of the two rivers, the Ille and the Vilaine. Condate, the former Gallic name, became the capital for a tribe of Redones. Conquered first by the Romans, and then by the Francs, the victory of the first Breton ruler, Nominoë, over the King Charles le Chauve in 846, meant that the city officially became part of Brittany. In 1532, the Grand Dukedom of Brittany having been officially integrated into France, Rennes became the administrative centre and the head office of the Brittany Parliament. In December 1720 a fire destroyed many wooden houses in the city centre. The city today is structured around two important sites dating back to the 18th century: The “Hôtel de Ville” and the “Parlement de Bretagne”.

A brief history

LIVING IN RENNES

History lives on in Rennes, with the centre from the 18th century, the Cathedral from Medieval times, the suburbs from the 16th and 18th centuries. Rennes therefore benefits from the rich heritage plus the diversity of the architecture.
