If you\u2019re planning to do some Christmas shopping across the English Channel in the bustling region of Brittany, you may want to make the most of the trip and visit the culturally-fulfilling city of Rennes.<\/p>\n

\"Rennes\"<\/a><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Rennes is a city swathed in heritage. It\u2019s vibrant and vast pedestrian area in the middle of the city is brimming with quality shops, bars and restaurants, the perfect place to enjoy some Christmas shopping while soaking up some unique Breton culture.<\/p>\n

The city\u2019s medieval quarter is scattered with quirky boutiques, where shoppers can pick up unusual Christmas gifts for loved ones that they would be hard-pushed to find in Britain\u2019s shops.<\/p>\n

If you are lured by the charms of high street chain shopping, head down Rue d\u2019Estrees, Rue Orleans, Rue La Motte Fablet and Rue le Bastard, where you can enjoy shopping in the better-known stores.<\/p>\n

But if you want to take your Christmas Rennes experience that little bit further, why not visit the city\u2019s Transmusicales event.<\/p>\n

Taking place from 3 \u2013 7 December 2014, Transmusicales gives the people of Rennes and its visitors a taste of the \u201cmusical trends of tomorrow.\u201d<\/p>\n

Bands and musical artists ascend on the city in the hope of relinquishing their musical anonymity in replace of fame and acclaim.<\/p>\n

The Transmusicales event, which is dubbed as being a \u201cleading light of the modern music scene,\u201d has taken place in Rennes for the last 30 years. More commonly referred to as \u2018The Trans\u2019, this unique musical festival was founded in June 1979 and has become synonymous with \u201cunforgettable encounters\u201d with predominantly unknown artists.<\/p>\n

Previous artists who have played here and have subsequently gone on to enjoy critical musical acclaim include Nirvana, Portishead, and, more recently, Kate Nash and the Ting Tangs.<\/p>\n

For information about this year\u2019s line-up and to buy tickets for \u2018The Trans\u2019 visit the official \u2018Les Trans\u2019 website.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
