Chartreuse & Brick

Occupying an enviable spot in the heart of Renne’s historic centre, this apartment cleverly combines classic French furniture with original features and licks of contemporary chartreuse coloured paint to create a stylish yet welcoming environment.

Make yourself at home in the living space – curl up on the orange tartan sofa with a paperback before rustling up Breton cuisine in the fully-equipped kitchen. After a good feasting, stretch your legs with a wander through the city’s charming streets or embark on a sight-seeing adventure.

The Cathedral Saint-Pierre de Rennes is just footsteps from your doorstep and the Musée de Bretagne is only a short walk away. Pore over works by Picasso, Botticelli and Rubens in the Musée des Beaux-Arts before treating yourself to a glass of wine in a local bar.
