Immeuble, 8 rue Saint-Georges, Protected heritage building in central Rennes, France.

The building at 8 rue Saint-Georges is a multi-story urban structure with protected facades and roofing dating from the first half of the 18th century. Its architectural features remain visible today along this central street in Rennes.

The structure received its official protected monument status on October 29, 1942, recognizing its importance to the city's architectural heritage. This designation placed it among the properties safeguarded for future generations.

The building houses Le Failler bookstore, a business that has operated since 1900 and hosts readings and author meetings. It remains a gathering place for readers and contributes to the literary life of central Rennes.

The building sits on rue Saint-Georges in the heart of Rennes and is easily reached on foot through the central streets. It can be viewed from the street, and the bookstore on the ground floor welcomes visitors during business hours.

The building successfully blends its protected status with active commercial use, as the bookstore maintains the structure's original details. This balance between heritage preservation and living commerce is not always easy to achieve.
