Today we visited Rennes, about 75km from La Fresnais. On the way we stopped and watched a boat through the locks on the Canal d'ille et Rance near Hebe. We both love watching canal boats so enjoyed this detour.
Then on to Rennes. Rennes is an interesting town with lots of history and historic buildings. Ann and I, however, preferred St Malo yesterday. We're not quite sure what it was, but Rennes just didn't 'do it' for us. We 'did' the walking tour around town and saw St Yves Chapel, St Pierre's Cathederal, The Portes Mordelaises, Places des Lices, The Parliement of Brittany, St Germain's Church, Palais du Commerce, The Hotel de Ville and The Opera House.

Cobbled Street view
St Yves Chapel is 15th century and looks it. St Pierre's Cathedral was not open so we just looked as we passed. The 15th century Portes Mordelaises was probably the site we appreciated most. The other buildings are all well preserved and still being used.
