The Rennes guinguettes

Guinguettes, these popular waterside establishments where people meet to drink, eat and dance, are experiencing a revival in Rennes. Historically, these places were emblematic of the banks of the Seine in Paris, but their friendly spirit has found its place in the Breton capital. Rennes guinguettes offer a space for relaxation and entertainment, mixing tradition and modernity.

An ideal setting

Located along the banks of the Vilaine and in the surrounding parks, Rennes’ guinguettes benefit from an exceptional natural setting. The people of Rennes can thus escape the urban hustle and bustle without leaving the city. These temporary places, often open during the summer season, offer a relaxed atmosphere where families, friends and colleagues meet to share pleasant moments.

One of the strengths of Rennes’ guinguettes lies in the diversity of their offering. There are food stands offering local and artisanal cuisine, regional beers and wines, as well as musical and cultural entertainment. Open-air concerts, DJ sets and dance shows contribute to the festive and warm atmosphere.

The Courrouze guinguette

Among the must-sees, the Guinguette de la Courrouze stands out for its bohemian atmosphere and eclectic programming. Located in a former rehabilitated industrial site, it offers a unique experience with live concerts, artistic workshops and sporting events.

The banks of the Vilaine

The banks of the Vilaine are also home to several guinguettes, such as La Paillette or Le Bacchus. These establishments are popular for their green setting and family atmosphere. Their riverside terraces are ideal for tasting Breton specialties while enjoying a soothing view.

Other guinguettes emerge during the summer, offering food stands, artisanal drinks and various entertainment. The multiplicity of offers allows you to vary the pleasures and discover different aspects of the local culture.

The MeM guinguette

A little further from the city centre, the MeM guinguette is very popular for its festive and dynamic atmosphere, with a large terrace offering a breathtaking view of the Vilaine.

A place for meeting and sharing

Rennes guinguettes are not only places of consumption, but also spaces for meeting and sharing. They promote social ties by allowing residents to meet and exchange in a friendly atmosphere. The activities offered, such as board games, creative workshops and dance initiations, reinforce this sense of community.
