Basilique Saint-Sauveur de Rennes, Minor basilica in Centre quarter, Rennes, France.
The neoclassical Basilique Saint-Sauveur stands with its light stone facade, crowned by statues and adorned with large columns on its front entrance.
Construction of the basilica began in 1768 under architects François Forestier de Villeneuve and François Huguet, replacing an earlier religious structure at this location.
