Bruz, Administrative commune in Rennes metropolitan area, France
Bruz is a town in the Rennes metropolitan area, positioned where the Vilaine and Seiche rivers meet. The landscape varies in elevation and features residential neighborhoods mixed with open spaces and local infrastructure.
The town's residents actively resisted during World War II, earning it the Croix de guerre 1939-1945 medal for their efforts. This recognition reflects the community's role in the broader French resistance movement.
Bruz maintains regional customs through its local markets, where vendors present traditional products and specialties from the Brittany region.
The town is well-connected to nearby Rennes through various roads, making it convenient for commuters. Schools and educational facilities serve both local residents and families from surrounding areas.
A quarry disaster in 1884 prompted stricter safety rules for the local mining industry. The tragedy left a lasting mark on the community's collective memory.
