Rennes
Rennes is the capital of Brittany, one of France's most stunning regions. It is the second-fastest growing metropolitan area in France and has a large student population. Brittany invests heavily in culture and the arts, and as such, Rennes is host to a number of music and cinematic festivals which draw in people from all over France. It also boasts four museums, the best of which is perhaps the Musée des Beaux Arts (Museum of Fine Arts) - whose collection spans Egyptian artefacts to modern paintings. One of the city's newest and most popular attractions is the botanical garden in the Parc du Thabor. The garden benefits greatly from Brittany's mild, temperate climate thanks to its proximity to the sea.
