Rennes Métropole, Metropolitan administrative area in Brittany, France.
Rennes Métropole is an administratively organized metropolitan region in Brittany that connects 43 municipalities across roughly 705 square kilometers. The network includes both urban centers and rural towns linked by modern transportation systems.
The region's structure traces back to an administrative district created in 1970, which was transformed into an agglomeration community in 2000. It finally received official metropolitan status in January 2015.
The region preserves roughly 78 percent of its land for nature and farming, while supporting modern urban growth through dense transportation links. Towns work together to protect green spaces while building infrastructure for daily life and work.
The region offers a dense network of bus routes, two metro lines, and roughly 500 kilometers of bicycle paths connecting all member towns. Visitors find it easy to move around the area whether using public transport or cycling.
Each household in the region receives 10 cubic meters of water annually at no cost through a social support program. This shows how the area prioritizes making basic needs accessible to all residents.
