We rolled into Rennes one lovely evening, and decided to park and get something to eat before heading further along to meet our friends.
We had a wonderful meal near the city hall with some yummy rustic crepes with apple wine.
Imagine our surprise when we returned to the parking garage. It was locked! I mean locked so much that we couldn’t even crawl in anywhere to get our luggage from our car. True, the hours are posted (we noticed too late!) and they would be open in the morning.
So, not a problem, we’d just find a hotel in Rennes. Well, we looked at the 4-star hotels, but each had a sign complet (full!), but we figure 3-star would be okay for one night. Also full! Same for 2-star and even 1-star. Apparently there was a big conference so everything (!) was sold out.
Fortunatunatly, we found a nice bistro that was still open where we could have a beer while we waited for our friends to come rescue us.
The moral – read the hours of the parking garages!
