The Place des Lices was once the site of the equestrian joust between two rivals separated by the lice at Rennes.

This square used to be an equestrian jousting ground, with two rivals separated by the lice. Surrounded by half-timbered houses and old mansions, its center is home to the Halles Martenot, two metal pavilions built in the 19th century in the Baltard style and listed as historic monuments. Place des Lices is also famous for its Saturday morning market, which has been held here since 1622. Classified as one of the most beautiful markets in France, it brings together all the local produce (galettes, crêpes, seafood).

La Place des Lices est surtout connue par le marché que s'y tient le samedi matin, en plus de par la vie jeune qu'y grouille suivant. L'ambiance y est agréable, passez faire un tour !

La place des Lices est un incontournable le jour de marché le samedi. Tout l'espace extérieur est utilisé par des stands, et bien sûr le marché s'installe également dans les halles couvertes. Marché animé et très agréable où vous trouverez de tout et pourrez profitez de galettes saucisses fraîches! En dehors du jour du marché la place est agréable pour flâner et admirer les belles façades à colombages, et tout autour vous trouverez des restaurants et bars/pubs. Au nord de la place vous pouvez rejoindre la Place Saint Michel ainsi que la rue du même nom (ou rebaptisée Rue de la Soif) assez animés les soirs, et par le sud-est de la place vous pouvez rejoindre les portes mordelaises et le vieux Rennes. Vous trouverez également sur la place un parking souterrain.
