Palais du Commerce, Neoclassical public building in Place de la République, Rennes, France.

The Palais du Commerce presents a symmetrical U-shaped structure with a central pavilion and two wings adorned with classical columns and architectural details.

Construction of the Palais du Commerce started in 1885 under architect Jean-Baptiste Martenot's direction and continued until 1929 following modifications by Emmanuel Le Ray.

The interior features decorative mosaics created by Isidore Odorico, representing the artistic craftsmanship of early 20th-century French architectural ornamentation.

The building is accessible via Metro lines A and B at République and Saint-Germain stations, with the Vilaine parking facility located nearby.

The structure will undergo a 65-million-euro transformation by 2026 to accommodate new retail spaces, a post office, restaurants, and coworking areas.
