Things to see and do Ille-Et-Vilaine

Ferme du Semnon is a farm located in Tresboeuf, Brittany. This family farm has been in existence for four generations and specializes in dairy farming and cereal growing.

Educational workshops are also available on request. La Ferme du Semnon also offers online booking for certain activities.

If you are intrigued or fascinated by the mechanisms of watchmaking, this museum will allow you to learn how this craft works. Clocks, watches, clocks and automatons populate this museum and should please children and adults alike, both for the beauty and the extravagance of the objects on display. Whether it is the primitive mechanisms with weights or the many evolutions in this field, you will learn a lot from Hélène and Alain Le Floch. As the museum is also a workshop, you can watch the watchmaker restore old mechanisms and restore them to working order. It is an exceptional place that is worth many great museums. To discover!

More than 1 000 parcels of family gardens are present on Rennes. A great success for many people. Each new parcel has a garden shelter, a rainwater recovery tank and an individual compost. Collective equipment is also available to gardeners at each site: reception office, storage premises, collective compost and water points. Founded in 1981, the association of family gardens of the city of Rennes manages the eleven sites of family gardens in Rennes, under a convention with the City. The association's gardeners elect a management committee for each sector. In order to obtain a parcel, it is necessary to join the association, to carry out an annual occupancy charge and to pay a deposit. Gardeners may produce their parcel at their convenience, but the marketing of harvested products is prohibited. This gives people the opportunity to reinvest public spaces and to be able to grow in envy. At present, more than 1 000 garden parcels (from 50 to 200 m ²) are proposed in either of the 11 areas of the city.

Relaxation and fun are guaranteed with the gyropodes or scooters: they are an excellent way to discover the region. The ride between the city of Aleth and Solidor is magnificent, especially since Sylvain is a friendly guide who punctuates his visits with beautiful anecdotes: history, science, environment. This good moment to share with friends or family is a great experience thanks to the fact that it is easy for the non-initiated to get the hang of it. In addition to the essential tours (1h30 to 2h) in and around Saint-Malo, customized tours are possible.

Boiling is a fine example of the rehabilitation of an industrial heritage site, in which a project around digital arts and citizenship has settled. It is a site that is intended to be a place of reflection and creation around the digital and the consequences that its uses have on our lives. Through digital artistic creation using state-of-the-art mediums, it confronts the public with its digital consumption and the resulting pipelines. The aim is to create a digital territory combining ethical and political exchanges. The team of the Association Le Milieu, managing the site, organizes exhibitions, workshops and debates, as well as activities in different poles of Rennes Métropole. Get the program on the website!
