A JOURNEY BACK IN TIME

No, your eyes aren’t deceiving you: that’s Guillemette Paluel, companion to Duchess Anne of Brittany, and Isaac Senner, the 18th-century designer, waiting for you on a street corner, eager to tell you about life in their era. Travel back in time through the centuries alongside those who know all about the history of Rennes because they were part of it! From the late Middle Ages to the 19th century, walk the cobbled streets while listening to the anecdotes of your guides in period dress. Journey back to the time of the Duchess, the architect Jacques Gabriel or Antoinette Caillot, editor of the Avenir de Rennes – which, for the record, was the only pro-Dreyfus paper in Rennes during the Dreyfus trial in 1899 – and enjoy countless tales and surprises about the city’s history.
