RV Rental Rennes, BRE

Rennes is an ideal location for people who enjoy both unique outdoor activities and outstanding cultural sites. Park your camper rental in Rennes and start your adventure on the water. Kayaking down the river Vilaine is a one-of-a-kind chance to get to know Rennes from a different perspective. If you don't have your own watercraft, rent one and launch out from Plaine de Baud. Explore the river solo, or book a guided tour.

If you're an avid runner or a hiker, Rennes is an exquisite place to start your day with a workout that will leave you tired but inspired.

Venture a few miles north of the city to discover 50 miles of hiking and cycling routes through the Forest of Rennes.

On the other hand, if you prefer water sports and you're a fan of the beach, Rennes is the place to be. The city is just a short drive from both the seaside and Les Étangs d'Apigné.
