Workation in Rennes: the essentials
A great fire destroyed much of the timber-built centre in 1720, and Rennes still shows the split: half-timbered houses on one side, formal stone squares on the other, with the 17th-century Parliament of Brittany in the middle. The Breton capital has about 231,000 residents at the meeting of the Ille and the Vilaine, a large student population and a digital and cybersecurity industry that keeps coworking spaces busy. A driverless metro covers the city, TGVs reach Paris in about 90 minutes, and the coast at Saint-Malo is about an hour away. Saturday's market at Place des Lices is among the biggest in France. The weather is often drizzly, and the airport, about 6 km out, has a modest schedule.
