Between stories, places and tasting

Poganne, the plague of 1621, the Himalayas, the old tanneries…

These are all events and places that have shaped, over the centuries, the eating habits of Rennes residents.

During this guided tour in Rennes, we invite you to discover another way of looking at the city: through its food history, at the crossroads of geology, sociology, economics, and architecture.

During a 1.5-hour walk in the center of Rennes, you will wander through the places where these stories came to life.
Each step reveals an unexpected link between the past and food,
to better understand what we eat today.
