It’s a very quiet and safe city, people are very open and welcoming to strangers, there is a lot of different restaurants to dry different cuisines. You can also meet people from different nationalities and explore the unique architecture of the coty

I loved this city! My trip was charming and full of joy. I can say I found a part of myself in Rennes. Plus, the food was really awesome. If you have the chance to visit this city, I highly recommend Bretané; it's a restaurant decorated with beautiful mosaics.

Lived in Rennes for a year. Very safe area as a solo woman. Not as many expats in this area. I would recommend learning some French to make communication easier when needed. Close to tourist areas like Saint Malo or Mont Saint Michel (both 1 hour distance).

Rennes is very safe as I can see since the start of the year. I didn’t had any problems at all ! Sometimes I get scared but there are lights out mostly everywhere, so it is better. People there are kind !

Rennes is a really sage city at day ! The night, I would not recommend to go to the Kennedy area (drug deals outside) and un the Rue Sainte Anne, known for its bars but also for drunk mens and robbers.
Posted: February 5, 2026Rennes is pretty safe except for a few neighborhoods that are a bit sketchier than others but nothing too serious :) it's a very nice and pleasant city to live in, when you go out at night it's fine, there's no danger.

About me
Hello ! I am a 26 years old who likes to go on a adventure :) For my next and first long solo trip in February, I will spend 3 weeks in California going from San Francisco to San Diego and passing by Los Angeles. I’d love to meet few new people there :) I'm super curious about life, people, the world and always looking for new things to learn and explore. That’s why I love travelling so much ! I love active vacations and I’m always willing to discover a new place through hiking, horse riding or even kayaking ! I also enjoy to spend some time just wandering around a city and discover hidden jem spots :) I'm open-minded, chatty, and love making genuine connections. I'm always up for a meet up !

About me
Yey! 🦦 I'm 22 and currently an environmental engineer student in Rennes, France but I grew up near Lyon. This summer I'm heading to Sofia for an Erasmus internship as part of my studies. I'll maybe be able to host someone if you need to! I'm searching for partners to explore the city and the country on the weekends! Or just to enjoy the sun in a parc. I'm looking forward to exchange some travel tips and stories (: You can also contact me on ig: @aalrnt
