The Palais Saint-Georges has the Jardin Saint Georges at its feet.

Former pilgrimage site built in 1369 and converted into a convention center in 2018.

This 17th century palace has had several lives: abbey, barracks and today the headquarters of various municipal services.

A must-see! The Couvent des Jacobins in Rennes is a former 14th-century Dominican monastery, now used as a modern convention center. It impressively combines historic features with contemporary architecture, particularly through the addition of modern structures such as a large auditorium. The meticulous restoration respects the monastery's Gothic elements, including the church, cloisters, and chapels. Glass and steel structures blend harmoniously into the historic surroundings, creating an exciting dialogue between old and new.

Using the power of moving water to drive a mill wheel is an ancient invention that dates back to pre-Christian times. Thanks to such a construction, human or animal muscle power could be easily replaced by a watercourse - natural or artificially created - in order to grind grain into corn, for example. There are essentially two different ways of driving watermills: either the water simply hits the blades of the water wheel from below to set it in motion; or the water is guided above the wheel and falls onto the blades; this type of construction is more efficient due to natural gravity.

Nowadays, only very few mills are still in operation in their original function, but they appear to hikers and cyclists along the river or canal as technical and historical monuments of an ancient craft tradition: Only through human ingenuity and the power of flowing water as driving energy, the heavy millstones inside were moved and so, for example, grain could be ground into flour (so-called grain mills) or oil could be pressed from fruits (e.g. olives) (so-called oil mills).

Interesting combination of new and old architecture
