Squares dedicated to Louis XIV and Louis XV in Rennes.

After the fire of 1720, two squares were built in Rennes. The one dedicated to Louis XIV housed the Parliament, while the other, dedicated to Louis XV and designed by architect Jacques Gabriel, brought together the town hall, the presidial building and the Horloge tower. To the east, the Opera House, built a century later by Millardet, stands out for its architectural curves, in vogue at the end of the First Empire. A particular feature of the square, these two monuments are visually intertwined. The epicenter of Rennes, Place de la Mairie hosts numerous events throughout the year.

Belle place où s'opposent les façades de l'hôtel de Ville et de l'Opéra, à deux pas de la place de la République et du Vieux Rennes. Toutes les boutiques gravitent autour de cette place et ses rues adjacentes.

Une des tres jolies places de Rennes ...l'hôtel de ville fait face à l'opera. Place pietonne qui fait le lien entre les rues du vieux Rennes et les boutiques de République.
De nombreuses animations diverses et variées y ont lieu le week end.

La place de la mairie est une belle place piétonne avec d'un côté l'opéra et de l'autre l'hôtel de ville. L'été, on y retrouve parfois des transats pour l'opération transat en ville. On y a une belle vue et la place est assez centrale, avec la place de la République à proximité ainsi que le parlement de bretagne et le vieux rennes.
