The Rennes City Guides cover what visitors to the Breton capital want to know: where to find a proper buckwheat galette and the famous galette-saucisse, how to make the most of the Saturday market on Place des Lices, which bars to pick away from the Thursday crush on Rue Saint-Michel and how to reach Saint-Malo, Mont-Saint-Michel or a castle town by train or coach. Each guide is a short, opinionated list with the reason to go and one practical tip for every place, and it opens in your browser right after you pay.

Three places from the guides
Le Galopin
Avenue Jean Janvier, between centre and station
The brasserie Rennes has relied on for generations: polished brass, leather banquettes, oysters and fish from the Breton coast, served by waiters nothing can surprise. The set menus keep it affordable. From the food guide.
Rue de la Psalette
Behind the cathedral
A short medieval lane whose timber houses have slowly leaned out of line over five hundred years. It takes two minutes to walk and feels like stepping onto a film set. From the things to do guide.
Marché aux Huîtres de Cancale
Cancale harbour, 40 min by bus from Saint-Malo
Oyster farmers sell from stalls along the harbour wall and open your dozen on the spot, with Mont-Saint-Michel on the far side of the bay. Eat them on the steps by the water. From the day trips guide.
Plan your days in Rennes
Day one: make it a Saturday if you can. Start at the Lices market with a galette-saucisse, walk the timber-framed lanes and the cathedral with the things to do guide, book a bistro lunch from the food guide and end the evening in the wine bars around the square. Day two: take the train to Saint-Malo for the ramparts and a low-tide walk, or the coach to Mont-Saint-Michel, both in the day trips guide. For a rainy or slow day, the family and budget guides send you to the free Musée de Bretagne, the science centre and the Thabor gardens between showers.
