Rennes - Hôtel de Ville 
|
|
In the center of the older part of Rennes is the Place de la Mairie, with the handsome Hôtel de Ville (Town Hall) built by Gabriel in 1734 and the Theater (1831-1835). To the east of the Theater is the Place du Palais, surrounded by fine 18th C. houses.
On the north side of the square is the Palais de Justice (Law Courts), built between 1618 and 1654 by Salomon de Brosse, the architect of the Palais du Luxembourg in Paris, which was originally the meeting place of the Breton Parlement. It has a richly decorated interior; particularly notable is the Grand' Chambre, with a beautiful wooden ceiling and fine tapestries.
