The station at Rennes was opened in 1857 and was situated a significant walking distance from the city centre.

However, since that date the town has expanded and now the station lies in the central part of the city.

It has access to Paris on the TGV, a two-hour trip; and serves Brittany with regular trains to Brest, Lannion, Nantes, Quimper and Saint-Malo.

Train service is available to other cities in France such as Lyon, Montpellier, Marseille, Lille, Aix-en-Provence and Strasbourg.
