Marvel at 286 medieval half‑timbered houses in the Old Town, especially along Rue du Champ‑Jacquet, Saint‑Sauveur and Chapitre streets
Step inside the majestic Parlement de Bretagne, a 17th‑century royal court richly restored after a 1994 fire
Admire the Cathédrale Saint‑Pierre, mixing Gothic foundations and a neoclassical façade

Wander Place Sainte‑Anne and buzz past the city’s bohemian pubs and plazas
