⭐︎Travel tips⭐︎
The old town has many historical buildings, and it is fun just to walk around the townscape, including churches and half-timbered houses.
The Rennes Museum of Fine Arts is located near the new town and is a bit of a walk from the old town, so if you have limited time, it is better to use the metro.
