In Our Time

Holiday Rental Description

A stone's throw from Rennes' must-see sites – such as the Place des Lices, Cathédrale Saint-Pierre and La Vilaine, just to name a few – this cosy apartment is nestled in a prime spot for exploring. Start your day with a wander through the Musée des Beaux-Arts de Rennes, then dig into an alfresco lunch at the city's array of delicious eateries. Come evening, don your fanciest outfit and enjoy a night at the opera or for something a bit more low-key, pack a picnic and watch the sunset in Parc du Thabor.

When you're not out and about, we think this flat is a fantastic place to kick back and unwind. The sleek and simple design is a calming respite from the hustle and bustle, while features like the knotted wooden beams overhead and decorative mantelpiece add the perfect amount of French charm.

Make yourself comfortable and plop down on the squishy sofa with a glass of French wine in hand, reminiscing about the day's adventures as you plan tomorrow's itinerary. For dinner, the sleek kitchen is well-stocked for serving up scrumptious meals around the stylish island – we suggest cooking a Breton dish like galettes using fresh produce from the Saturday market. With rainfall showers in the glossy bathrooms, sumptuous beds in each bedroom and a light-filled living space ideal for socialising, we think a group of friends or a small family will be more than happy to call this pad home.

Home truths:
*Two guests will sleep on the sofa bed in the living area
*This apartment is on the second floor without a lift – we wouldn't suggest it for those with limited mobility
*Both the main bathroom and bathroom two only have a sink and shower – the toilets are located in separate WCs
*There’s no desk here, but the kitchen island doubles as a laptop-friendly workspace
*You'll be able to check yourself using the digicode smart lock
*You won't need a car here – Sainte-Anne metro station is 300m away, bus routes run nearby and much of the city is accessible on foot
