Rennes Métropole

Rennes Métropole connects 43 municipalities across 705 square kilometers of territory, forming a cohesive network of urban and rural communities in western France.

The metropolitan structure emerged from a district created in 1970, transformed into an agglomeration community in 2000, and finally gained metropolitan status in January 2015.

The territory maintains 78 percent of its land for natural and agricultural purposes while supporting modern urban development through extensive transportation networks.

The metropolitan area provides residents with 500 kilometers of bicycle paths, two metro lines, and numerous bus routes connecting all member municipalities.

Each household within Rennes Métropole receives an annual allocation of 10 cubic meters of water at no cost through a social welfare initiative.
