Justice and culture, the symbol of Brittany
After being conquered by the Romans, then later the Francs, the Grand Dukedom of Brittany was officially integrated into France in 1532. At this crucial time, the city of Rennes came forward to serve as the administrative center and the head office of the Parlement de Bretagne (Parliament of Brittany). This ruling city has suffered two losses by fire, but the spirit of Bretagne survived and thrives

The Parlement de Bretagne building was restored and fully renovated under the direction of Alain-Charles Perrot and Jean-Loup Roubert, both of whom completed the work within the set limits of both cost and scheduling in time for the grand reopening on October 4, 1999.

The guardian of region’s heritage, the Parlement de Bretagne continues to play an important role in the Breton legacy and history. The city of Rennes is focused in design and structure around two important 18th century sites, the Hôtel de Ville and its beloved Parlement de Bretagne. It is once again a monument open to all its citizens, holding both justice and culture for all who enter within its walls.
