This is short post about our first day in Rennes, the capital of Bretagne in Ille-et-Vilaine department, mostly from city center and Parc du Thabor. On the second day we visited Prairies Saint-Martin, a large nature park North of town. The pictures of this parkon both the town’s and tourism office’s webpages looked really promising, but at least in the dull weather we had — drizzly with strong chilly wind — the place was rather unimpressive.

The next post (Part II) is about the town of Carhaix-Plouguer in Finistère department, Valley of Saints, and the archeological interpretation center of Vorgium (the former Latin name of  Carhaix).
