THE PLACE OF THE LICES
Go there and contact
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).
