The Place de Lices was once the site of the equestrian joust between two rivals separated by the lice at Rennes.
History tells us that this square was once an equestrian jousting ground, with two rivals separated by the lice. Surrounded by half-timbered houses and old mansions, its center is home to the Halles Martenot, two Baltard-style metal pavilions built in the 19th century and listed as historic monuments. Today, the town is famous for its Saturday morning market, which has been held here since 1622 and is a veritable showcase for local produce (galettes, crêpes, seafood).

Lors de notre séjours, nous n'avons pas assister au marché qui s'y tient les samedis, mais nous avons appréciés les belles maisons à pan de bois. Belles balades dans le quartier.

Un endroit vivant au cœur de rennes, sympa pour son ambiance le soir avec les Pubs, mais auSSI le week-end avec son super marché !
