LA BOÎTE À RIRE

Fancy dress store

La Boîte à rire is located right in the center of town, so you can pick up a disguise quickly when you need something original. For over 50 years, this store has been a specialist in party supplies, from cotillions to wigs and masquerade costume, not forgetting joke products and the whole special birthday collection. Small but dense, the boutique is brimming with all kinds of accessories. What we like about it is that you can find items for sale as well as for rent. Not forgetting the traditional humorous or naughty gadgets, and even a wide range of fireworks! In short, everything to please and make you laugh!

LA BELLE DÉCHETTE

Braderie brocante et puce

This ressourcerie (the first to be set up in the Rennes metropolitan area) makes the most of objects that have been discarded, based on the concept of a circular, solidarity-based, anti-waste economy. Recovered objects are given a second life. You can rummage through the bins haphazardly, finding crockery, decorating materials and accessories, books, cuddly toys, clothes, a haberdashery corner, small furniture and much more. Always at modest prices! Truly involved in the implementation of collaborative, ecological and social practices, the association also offers workshops for young and old to share DIY and anti-waste tips. An association that really makes us feel the benefits of a responsible alternative to our consumption patterns. Since the beginning of 2024, La Belle Déchette has relocated to Les Halles en Commun to bring together in one place its valorization center and its second boutique, La Réserve.

L'ÉTABLI DES MOTS

Bookshop

A cooperative bookshop is an unusual concept launched by three associations already heavily involved in the life of Le Blosne, based on the possibility for everyone to take part in the bookshop's decisions by becoming a shareholder. It's an initiative that has won over the neighborhood's residents, who make up a large proportion of the total! The result is a bookshop that reflects its readers, a generalist indeed, but one that doesn't forget to emphasize multiculturalism and the important themes of our changing society. A pleasant little store, with wood-panelled shelves, reading areas and a rich program of meetings and events.

KI-KAZH

Pet shop

Here's a shop dedicated to the well-being of your feline and canine companions. Caroline Cantin has created an atypical boutique in the heart of the city, filled with quality products not found in conventional pet shops. Why atypical? Because here, respect and well-being for the animal are at the heart of her preoccupations. When you enter the boutique, you discover an Ali Baba's cave full of little wonders in two rooms, and each product meets Caroline Cantin's ethical requirements in terms of consideration for the animal. We love her ingenuity, as she has given meaning to her action by organizing partnerships with local animal protection associations: the boutique doesn't sell animals, but encourages you to adopt them through associations. In addition to a smiling welcome, you'll find quality accessories for cats and dogs, food suitable for all profiles and certified fit for human consumption (some products are in bulk!), without GMOs or additives. Of course, none of our products are tested on animals, and we refuse to sell items that could harm the animal's physical or moral integrity. And let's not forget clothing to cope with the cold and rain, like these raincoats made in Brittany from recycled boat sails. You'll also find hygiene products (shampoos, lotions, anti-parasitics), and even gift ideas for owners (stationery, figurines, crockery, jewelry, socks...). Needless to say, this place is a real delight not only for our faithful companions, but also for all cat and dog enthusiasts!

It's a creative universe that never ceases to renew itself. La supérette offers one-off pieces made from fabric, metal or ceramic materials, and gives way to minimalist, geometric jewelry. A rich, varied and complementary universe... in short, a pretty supérette where you'll want to fill your shopping cart to the brim.

A table in the centre of the shop is even dedicated to these small cards.

The concept is not lacking in pep: this bike-café proposes to repair your bike while you take a coffee (1802 of course!) or a Diwan tea. The place has been recently decorated with a very nice street art atmosphere. In addition to the repair, you can also buy a bike, whether it's used or new! The favorite brand? Tokyo Bike, a small independent bike company, born in 2002 in the suburbs of Tokyo, adept of slow travel, which designs handy bikes, with a vintage look, perfect for the city. The concept, created by two brothers, Azad and Maxime, is based on conviviality and urban living.

SOLEIL NOIR VINTAGE

Thrift shop

The small thrift shop has expanded. The 70's universe discovered in the second boutique has been repatriated to the historic store in old Rennes: Coco prend le thé accessories, upcycling, handmade denim pieces from Rennes-based Digital Punk and scarves from La Bananeraie. The rue Saint-Guillaume stall is a veritable cavern, all nooks and crannies. A real secret cache: obsolete objects, knick-knacks and "shock stuff" unearthed on the sly, faded classics and beautiful pieces from the past... From fashion to decor, from rock'n'roll to colonial style, we admire the selection and appreciate the affordable prices.

NILMË

Bookshop
Closed - Open to 10h00

The warm front of this bookshop beckons us to get away from the noise of the city. We enter a cozy space run by Julie and Christine, two former Japanim booksellers. They combine their singularities to give visitors the best possible advice. A generalist bookshop, it offers a vast choice of manga, romance, young adult and fantasy. An added bonus is the café area, where you can relax with a hot or cold drink. The bookshop also displays works by local artists on its walls. It organizes literary and non-literary events, such as a creators' stall one Saturday a month. A cocooning haven not to be missed!
