Rennes is the capital of Brittany and we travelled there not only because of that, but there was nowhere else to go! It happens to be a long weekend and most places are booked out. We had an easy, but uneventful cycle down from Dinan, firstly by using the canal towpaths and then the open road, before hitting the canal again to enter Rennes city centre. We find the cycle paths can get a bit boring after a while but they are great ways of entering cities and missing all the traffic. The blackberries are beginning to ripen so we collected a few handfuls and had them with yoghurt later on. We stayed in a 'residence' this town and so have cooked our own meals for the last two nights. And benefited from the cheap wine at the supermarket! There was a Saturday market which we walked around and we also bought some new potatoes and olives for the evening meal. The art gallery was also pretty good and they have a few Picasso's and other amazing works.

Art or graffiti?
Rennes Piscine (why don't councils incorporate art into civic buildings today?) This city got the best mosaic artist around to do this.

Standing in front of this painting was not that different from being next to a real person.
