Rennes

August 2017

First thing a tourist will see when leaving the station

Second - the city has a poop lover

I remember taking this photo, and local ladies were like: "Oh, kaka, hee-hee ha-ha." When you live in a city, you don't notice such things, so everyone needs tourists and immigrants

Classic French "à louer" on windows. Like for sale, but what to do with this knowledge further - don't know

City center is rather new

Safety island

In places the "new" center is wide

Bus so bland you might not realize it's public transport

French balconies. Quite a rarity for France

On signs, like in all the rest of France, they write what kind of guy he was

Rennes trash cans are monumental and complex

There are underground ones too

In places the city looks like "Europe"

City of Rennes. For some reason they never write the name without the word "city"

Advertising trash and city art

Here just advertising trash

Old stuff stands in place, nobody demolishes. Looks creepy, feels like it'll definitely fall tomorrow

Don't know the point of paint on asphalt

But all streets in the center are extremely narrow, done on purpose to calm traffic

Normal Rennes people's housing

And the silence of their neighborhood

Classically, region logos on license plates

Beauty

Very wide road in the center became a parking lot. Classically French people calmed traffic on it with flower pots

Still looks like the last Rakovník

Center's still beautiful anyway

Grandmas will like it

By the way, no young people in the city. Generally not much youth visible in France, only in Paris

Oh yes, Rennes is the main city of Brittany, so some signs in the center are duplicated in Breton.

Important buildings marked like this

"Old Europe"

Incomprehensible to my eye sign for press kiosk

Half-timbering can be in the left courtyard too

Kebab. Should legally ban kebab shop signs with more than three colors.

Double care for cyclists. The city cared and put up barriers to reduce speed. The driver cared and parked the jalopy in front of the barrier

Stops maximally bland, like all public transport here

While markings and generally traffic are solved very quality

Modern apartments

Gas supply signs

Letters and numbers clip onto the sign

An interesting feature I remembered. French women, when you walk past them, look you straight in the eyes. And when they walk on, shake their ass harder than their colleagues in Kaluga

I remember Rennes like this

Text sign, don't know French - won't understand at all what it's about

Passage is trashed and has mopeds in it

Conclusion: Rennes is typical France
