Tips from the Community

Epee Sharkey
May 12, 2025, Commuter train station for Rennes

Tirains run fairly often (about every hour on an ordinary Weds mid-afternoon when I was there). You can get to Rennes in one direction and Lamballe (? - check ?) in the other. From Rennes you can get to lots of other places, and I used this method to quickly move from inland to coastal Brittany. Using the machine, it is easy to buy a through ticket and provided you stay on TER trains, you can bring a bike without reservation (but subject to space/train manager's say so on busy times). I didn't see a lot of commerces in the vicinity of the station, but likely one could find stuff if one was in need -- looks like centre-ville is about 1 K level ride away.

Former Roman Catholic church built in the 12th century, then rebuilt in the 18th century. It is a very active church and events take place every month. You can find more information at: http://paroissenotredamedestertres.blogspot.com/

The church was rebuilt at the beginning of the 17th century and the north chapel was built in 1878.

It is a remarkable tree in the town. It is 25 m high, has a circumference of 7 m and is 300 years old. It's a beautiful place for a photo or a picnic.
