Rennes , large Brittany City - the capital of the original, unknown tourists, a unique province.
The old town in the center of Renna is a miracle who survived the labyrinth of houses, the construction of 15-16 centuries. In 1720, a terrible fire, which residents could not stop, absorbed most of the city. A fire-carpenter was the culprit of the fire, which in his own intense, accidentally set fire to the lamp of the wood chips.
The part of the city destroyed by fire was restored over several years. Thanks to the projects of the architect Jacques Gabriel, strict granite houses lined up on clear rectangular lines.
Most of the streets of the old city are stored traces of time. Traditional half-timbered houses, drawn by wooden inserts, stand, clinging to each other Rastalish area . On the square, before serving the arena for knightly fights, today on Saturday and Sundays puts their numerous counters, the market for traditional Breton products.
Walking around the city, pay special attention to houses, medieval buildings, standing around Saint Ann Square and on Streets Psalatt, Saint-Georges, Shapir . Houses with protruding upper floors, decorated with wooden sculptural figures. This is also determined by the tradition of construction. After the famous fire, the lower floors of the houses began to build out of granite, and the top of the Charther Sandstone, the logs began to play a decorative role.
On the street St.guillaume It is a house that bears the name - Du Geskella , in this house, when the famous Breton Hero lived. On the facade of the house there is a saint Sebastian figure carved from a tree and one of his tormentors with a bow in his hands. The decoration of the Renaissance Age is perfectly preserved in the old house The innochy yard "Saint-Mut".
