Rennes on Sundays is the Lices market in full swing in the morning, the half-timbered streets of the centre filling with walkers, and a Breton ease that makes you want to take your time. But the Breton capital is also a student and tech city (Rennes 1, Rennes 2, French Tech Rennes Saint-Malo), where Sundays often mean catching up. Here are the spots that welcome you.
Gang Café de Quartier
Rue de la Parcheminerie, right in the centre. A quiet café that's laptop-friendly, with a good food menu and a warm atmosphere. On Sundays, open from 9:30 to 19:00 — a solid window of time. The kind of place where you feel at home the moment you push the door open.
