Mail François Mitterrand, Pedestrian mall in central Rennes, France
The François-Mitterrand mall extends for 700 meters with Lebanese cedars and plane trees creating shaded areas for pedestrians and cyclists.
The promenade originated in 1677 under the name 'Mail des Champs Elysées' when the Duke of Chaulnes commissioned it for parliamentary elites.
The weekly organic market takes place every Wednesday afternoon, gathering twenty regional producers who sell fresh local products.
The mall connects Place de la République to the Confluence Garden, offering multiple restaurants with outdoor seating and recreational spaces.
The 2015 renovation transformed this former traffic axis into a car-free zone with street workout equipment and traditional Breton palet gaming areas.
