GB1015637We were grateful for the information on the area which was so thoughtfully provided. The goodies you left were much enjoyed and the garden produce was lovely.
Rennes is a great centre for visiting Brittany. We used the group train ticket to visit Morlaix, Vitre and Aurey and went on the bus to Fougeres. All very different and well worth visiting

IE1005611We really enjoyed our exchange in Rennes. The house is really comfortable. Very easy to get to Rennes city centre by bus.
The park across the road is a fabulous amenity with a cool bar, mini golf, ziplining or a nice walk.
We enjoyed Cobac Parc for a day. Nantes is only an hours drive away and really worth the visit. Fougeres is beautiful and Rennes City xentre is lovely too, especially on Saturdays for the food markets!
We had a great time.
Host family were brilliant with communicating with us before and during the trip. They left lots of helpful information about the house and area.
