Where to park in Rennes?

The town offers various types of parking, most of them paid and regulated.

Parking in the street

On-street parking is chargeable from Monday to Saturday, from 9am to 12pm and from 2pm to 7pm. It is free on Sundays and public holidays. The city is divided into 3 tariff zones, subject to specific rules:

• red zone (hyper-center);
• green zone (periphery);
• blue zone (shopping districts and busy areas).

Payment of the ticket is made through connected parking meters, in cash or by credit card. Some applications also allow you to pay by phone: you can thus extend the parking time remotely.

Parking in a private car park

Don't have the time or the desire to use public transport? The public or private paid car parks in the historic center remain a very convenient parking option, even if you will have to allocate a certain budget to it. They are open for reservation, depending on the occupancy rate.
