The place owes its name to the city of Valence, indeed during his stay in Vannes, Saint Vincent Ferrier would have lived in a house on this place. In any case, one thing is certain, it is at the corner of rue Noé that you can admire the famous sculpture of “Vannes and his wife”.

This granite sculpture, set into the masonry of a half-timbered facade at the beginning of the 16th century, depicts the busts of two bon vivants who appear to welcome customers to a shop. The name comes from the client Monsieur Vennes, who over the years became Monsieur Vannes.
