Vol Nice-Rennes

Fly from Nice to Rennes and dive into the heart of Brittany

Direction Rennes, capital of Brittany

It’s not always necessary to cross a border to get that taste of escape that makes any holiday great. A Nice-Rennes flight is proof. Take off from the French Riviera - the most Latin of French regions - and land in Brittany, the most Celtic. That’s the magic of France: in less than 2 hours, the time it takes to fly direct from Nice to Rennes, you’ll find yourself in a radically different atmosphere. One full of timber-framed houses, indulgent buckwheat waffles, and more than that a city that walks the line between past and future.

    The Rennes Bretagne Airport is ideally located just 15 minutes from the centre of Rennes. You have several options for getting to the centre:

    • take the train. The SNCF Saint-Jacques de la Lande stop is a 15 minute walk from the airport. The TER (regional train) stops regularly and will get you to the centre in just 5 minutes.
    • take a taxi. You’ll find a taxi stand just in front of the Arrivals Hall. A trip to the city centre will cost around €20.
    • hire a car. There are 6 agencies with counters in the Arrivals Hall of the airport.

What to do in
Rennes ?

Brittany is a bit like lava cake. Some people go at it from the sides while others prefer to dive right into its chocolaty heart. The latter sojourn in Rennes! The Ille-et-Vilaine prefecture is the heart of Brittany, and the Paimpont forest is just nearby. It is also known as Brocéliande, legendary home of Merlin, King Arthur's magician. Perhaps it's this proximity that makes Rennes so enchanting. Or perhaps it's the city’s irresistible vitality. But whether you're a resident or just visiting, Rennes will always be one of the most agreeable cities in France

    • Like the Dukes of Brittany on coronation day, cross the drawbridge of one of the two Mordelaises Gates, medieval rampart vestiges, and head for Saint-Pierre, a remarkable cathedral that melds beauty with simplicity.
    • Stroll through the picturesque streets of the old city and admire the lovely timber-framed houses with their colourful façades. There are nearly 300 of them!
    • Push open the doors of the Parliament of Brittany, the most famous building in the city. This magnificent 17th century palace was restored after a major fire in 1994. Frescos, paintings, gildings and coffered ceilings are a perfect testament to the splendour of the Sun King.
    • Visit a museum: the Beaux Arts (with paintings by Rubens, De la Tour, Gauguin and more); the Brittany Museum, to gain a better understanding of the region; or the Science Centre, where fun meets learning.
    • Take the whole family out on an electric boat and navigate your way down the Vilaine which, with its beautiful green banks, makes for a lovely day trip.
    • Give into temptation and fill up on the best Brittany has to offer with a bolet of cider or a buckwheat galette filled with andouille de Guémené sausage. Some places to try: La Motte-Picquet, La Maison de Joséphine, La Rozell (for its secret terrace), and the Saint-Georges.
    • Block out a Saturday morning for the Marché des Lices, the second largest market in France with over 300 local producers. It's been serving Rennes for four centuries!
    • Head for the beach. Bathed by the Channel, the beautiful city of Saint-Malo is just 45 minutes away, and an hour by train from Rennes (with around 20 trains per day).
    • Crawl (or paddle) your way around one of the 10 most beautiful pools in the world (according to Architectural Digest): the Saint-Georges city pool, an Art Deco wonder.
    • Fly like a bird. Just a few kilometres from the city centre, the Cap Malo shopping centre is home to AirFly, a freefall simulator. Get the same feelings as a real skydive, open to ages 5 and up. Nearby you’ll find go carts, golfing, bowling, indoor football, and more.
