Luggage storage in Rennes

Rennes rewards a visit for its half-timbered old town, lively student scene and its role as a jumping-off point into Brittany, and a bag you'd rather not carry can get in the way of all three.

The city's key sights — the Parlement de Bretagne, the historic centre, the Thabor gardens and the Couvent des Jacobins — sit close together but still involve plenty of walking. A local luggage storage service is located 200 metres from the République metro station and a 12-minute walk from Gare de Rennes, so it's a workable drop point if you're moving through the centre.

All 28 stations on Rennes's two metro lines have lifts, which makes dragging a case between platforms easier than in many French cities. If you're visiting for the Marion du Faouët exhibition from late September to late December 2026, arrange storage for your bags before arriving, since the venue itself won't take them. With Stasher, you can store bags from €1.49 per bag per day.

Some top Stasher locations in Rennes include:

• Local shop, 43 min walk from Couvent des Jacobins
• Local shop, 19 min walk from Rennes city centre
• Local shop, 21 min walk from Charles de Gaulle · rated 5/5 (over 20 reviews)

⁣You'll typically find a bag drop-off at local shops. Every booking comes with the Stasher Guarantee, which protects your bags up to €12,000. Stasher storage in Rennes can be booked through the website or app.⁣

Bag policy at museums and science venues

At the Espace des sciences, bulky items such as suitcases, bags, scooters and strollers are not permitted in the exhibitions or the Planetarium, and reception cannot hold them for you, so only handbags and small backpacks are allowed inside. The Musée des beaux-arts asks visitors to leave backpacks and umbrellas in lockers at reception rather than carrying them into the galleries, and the lockers accommodate clothing, backpacks and cabin luggage, with separate ones for school groups.

Arriving and moving around Rennes with bags

Gare de Rennes connects the city by TGV INOUI and OUIGO to Paris, Lyon, Marseille, Brest, Quimper, Strasbourg, Brussels and even Charles-de-Gaulle airport, so plenty of travellers pass through with luggage. The metro from Gare de Rennes to Place Sainte-Anne takes only three minutes, which is handy for reaching the historic centre quickly. From Rennes Bretagne Airport, the fastest link is a TER train from the Saint-Jacques-de-la-Lande stop, taking five minutes into the centre for a €2 one-way fare. The C6 bus runs between the airport and République metro station in about 30 minutes, with the airport roughly 20 minutes from the city centre by road. On the STAR network, luggage must not exceed one metre in any dimension, though long items up to two metres are allowed if carried vertically and no more than 0.20 metres wide. A free electric shuttle links Place de la République to the Couvent des Jacobins in 15 minutes, passing the Parlement and Place Hoche on the way.
