Rennes' modern
gare SNCF
is located south of the Vilaine, around twenty minutes' walk from the tourist office and a little more from the medieval quarter. The
gare routiere
is immediately east of the
gare SNCF
on boulevard Solferino, but most local buses start and finish on or near place de la Republique. Rennes is a busy junction, with direct services to St-Malo (TIV; tel 02.99.79.23.44), Dinan and Dinard (Armor Express; tel 02.99.50.64.17), and Nantes (Societe Transports Tourisme de l'Ouest; tel 02.40.20.45.20). In addition Les Courriers Bretons (tel 02.99.19.70.70,

day-trips to Mont-St-Michel
departing from the
gare routiere
daily at 11am, timed to connect with the morning TGV from Paris (128F/19.51 return).
