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).

Le quartier de référence en matière de sorties sur Rennes ! Présence de nombreux bars et restaurants. Nous y sommes allés un samedi matin , la place était très animée par la présence du fameux marché des Lices ! je recommande vivement !

A part pour le marché , cette place n'a pas vraiment de charme .. Les terrasses l'été font un peu de vie dans ce lieu bétonné mais sinon il s'agit d'un lieu de passage sans charme
An exceptional market there really, more there is regional produce.
it is really a brilliant market for absolutely if you are planning a reindeer
