Parlement de Bretagne

The Parliament of Brittany (Parlement de Bretagne) is a historic institution located in Rennes, France. Originally established in the 16th century following the union of Brittany with France, it functioned as the region’s sovereign court of justice. The current building, completed in the 17th century, is an architectural landmark blending classical and Breton styles. Though it no longer holds political power, the Parliament remains a symbol of Brittany’s historical identity and autonomy, and today houses the Rennes Court of Appeal. It is also a popular tourist site, known for its richly decorated interiors and cultural significance.

Very interesting opening for the patrimonial and cultural day in France. The visit was interesting and the guide have good stories.

Not a huge building to tour. Accessible with licensed tour guides only. Was stinky due to pigeons.

Cool place to walk around in the sun

Beautiful architecture. We only see exterior. I hope one day they will allow to visit inside to see the beautiful interior.

As English speakers with limited French, Sacha was a wonderful guide and gave us a brief overview in English before moving to the next room, despite the tour only being officially only in French. The parliament itself is amazing and not to be missed, both for understanding Bretagne and Rennes. He was well received by the native French speakers. He is well versed in French and Breton history and ably (and graciously) answered all of our questions.

Parlement building is a very beautiful place. I watched the festival of music and lights. It is a very beautiful place and also safe. The people can go for a walk with the family and children.

A must place to see on a tour guide which is fairly cheap, around 7 euro and 4 euro for students.
