This beautiful European city is perfect for a weekend getaway: it has a huge market and active nightlife

A cozy European city that offers a unique blend of history, culture, and modernity is ideal for a weekend getaway. We are talking about the French university town of Rennes.

It is known for its stunning medieval architecture and one of the largest markets in the country. This was reported by Express.

This city of 300 thousand people is the capital of the French region of Brittany. One of the most attractive features of Rennes is its half-timbered houses, which date back to the 15th century and survived the great fire of 1720. Back then, 33 streets and more than 900 buildings were destroyed.

Although not as well known as some other French cities, Rennes offers a unique experience. A stroll through its charming streets will help you feel the true flavor of the region.

The Marche des Lices local market, the second largest in France, is a must-see. Here you can find a huge selection of local goods, crafts and food. This 402-year-old market hosts about 300 vendors on the Place des Lices square every week, attracting about 10 thousand shoppers and tourists.

Here you can find a wide selection of fish, meat products, fruits and vegetables, cheeses, flowers, bread, and a local specialty of hot pork sausage wrapped in a buckwheat pancake.

Despite its charm, Rennes is far from a quiet French village. The city is home to 60 thousand university students. This means that the bars are never empty at night, and the nightlife is top-notch.

On the cultural side, tourists can discover contemporary street art, cultural events that demonstrate Rennes' commitment to artistic expression, and galleries such as the Museum of Fine Arts.

For those who love the outdoors, Rennes has many parks and green spaces. The Parc du Thabor with its botanical gardens and colorful flowers is a great place to relax in the open air.
