A romantic escape in Rennes
A night 90 metres above Rennes
You can know a city by heart and still have never spent a night there together. In Rennes, the view from Les Horizons changes things.
The last message of the evening says the children are asleep. You put your phone away. Down there are the streets you take to work, the Saturday errands and the restaurant you keep meaning to try. Tonight is yours. And for once, nobody is waiting for you at breakfast.
You might live just round the corner, leave Nantes after work or meet in Rennes when one of you is coming from Brest and the other from Tours. If you drive, the suite has its own parking space. From the station, take public transport or a taxi. Once you arrive, the rest is on foot.
A table at Place des Lices
There’s that restaurant you might often walk past. Tonight, you go in. At Place des Lices, you can start with a drink outside and take your time over dinner. On the walk back, you turn a corner and catch sight of the towers. The rest of the evening is up there.

Inside the curves of Les Horizons
From the street, the two towers designed by Georges Maillols have an unmistakable outline. They date from 1970. Inside, you notice their curves in the way your eye travels around the room. Cross the lounge and the city comes back into view, through a window or reflected in the glass. Ninety metres above the old town, you can still recognise the streets and rooftops. On some overcast mornings, it feels as if you’re living in the clouds.
In the lounge, blue light brings out the red of the velvet. You sit down for the view. Then one of you moves closer and rests a hand on the back of the other’s neck. All week, you’ve talked about schedules, shopping and who’s picking up the kids. Tonight, your hands get a little ahead of the conversation.
A suite to discover together
Run a bath and slip into the whirlpool together, or let the warmth of the steam room ease the journey out of your shoulders. The massage table gives you another way to take care of each other. It’s easy to see why you might want a second night. On the first, even leaving the lounge feels like an effort.
Look a little closer and the suite has a playful side. The metal frame holds a suspended swing and can be used for shibari by the more acrobatic couples. The restraints built into the bed are easy to miss. They’re among the details you can discover together, depending on the mood.
One last drink above the rooftops
Take your glasses out onto the balcony for one last drink. From those 14 square metres above Rennes, you can trace your walk back from Place des Lices, then lose the route as the streets melt into the night.
Back inside, the sheer curtains let the city lights into the room. You can draw the blackout curtains whenever you want the rest of the night to yourselves.
Open the curtains in the morning and the old town is still there. If you live in Rennes, you might recognise a rooftop or a familiar route. Put the coffee on. The city has already started its day. You still have time.
