If you come to Rennes, and if you love clothes, you absolutely must stop by Crazy Republic. This very trendy boutique of more than 1,000 m2 is magnificent. Even before you go in, you’re struck by the beauty of the facade decorated with mosaics. The architect Guidet and the mosaic artist Odorico (1896-1898) brought their talents together to give us this splendid building in a pure art deco style. Inside, everything is clear and bright and the very trendy clothes are very well presented. It is definitely a place where you’ll feel compelled to use your credit cards, but what a delight for the eyes! Fashion victims, on your marks, set, go!

An a la carte menu that is out of the ordinary and a contemporary setting, that’s how I would describe this creperie that is the only one of its kind!
The Chef’s a la carte menu is completely original: say good-bye to the classic “complete” and “butter and sugar” crepes, and say hello to “chamallow” and “carambar” crepes... My favourite: the Georges V galette with foie gras!

Every Saturday morning, there is a huge market in the town centre on the Place des Lices. If you’re spending time in Rennes, it is an absolute must-see event, most of all because it is located in the city’s historic centre, and then because the profusion of fresh products offered in the open-air market: fish and shellfish (it’s the rule in Brittany), fruits and vegetables. In the very picturesque covered halls with their stalls tiled in the traditional way, fowl, meats and cooked meats, cheeses, breads, jams and honeys. The complex is made complete by a very beautiful flower market where traditional bouquets sit alongside small unpretentious bouquets of garden flowers (daffodils, tulips, and daisies). The contrast is unusual between the large stands and the stands of the small-scale producers that sell a chicken, a dozen eggs, or a few kilos of potatoes. The customers are regulars, practically “friends” because these loyal customers having been coming here without fail for years. The crowd is huge and colourful.  A few musicians liven up the morning.
