Écomusée du Pays de Rennes
Écomusée du pays de Rennes
An open-air museum in a farm south of the city, showcasing five centuries of rural life and local Breton livestock.
The Écomusée is located at the La Bintinais farm. Through farmhouses, orchards, and vegetable plots, it tells the story of five centuries of agricultural change around Rennes. The most popular areas are the livestock section, home to traditional local breeds such as Breton black-and-white calves and Nantes ducks, and the orchard with over a hundred varieties of apple trees, which is especially good for families. It is closed on Mondays. Admission is about €5–6. It is in the southern part of the city and takes about 20 minutes by bus.
Opening hours
Closed Mondays; other days about 9:00 AM–12:00 PM, 2:00–6:00 PM (open weekend afternoons)
