A Morning Walk Through Rennes

I went back to Rennes for a few days at the end of June to attend the quarterly staff workshop hosted by my manager at work. This was the second time I’ve been back to Rennes this year after a 4-year-long absence, and the first time I’d had a chance to walk around the old city center.
At this time of year, Rennes gets close to 18 hours of day light. I took advantage of this by getting up early in the morning to take a walk, and even before 6 in the morning on a cloudy day, I was able to take decent photographs. Plus, due to the early hour, I had the streets almost to myself.
I’m not particularly nostalgic about living in Rennes, but this view of a quiet, narrow street at dawn reminds me of what I did like about living there.
