The station at Rennes was opened in 1857 and was situated a significant walking distance from the city centre. However, since that date the town has expanded and now the station lies in the central part of the city. It has access to Paris on the TGV, a two-hour trip; and serves Brittany with regular trains to Brest, Lannion, Nantes, Quimper and Saint-Malo. Train service is available to other cities in France such as Lyon, Montpellier, Marseille, Lille, Aix-en-Provence and Strasbourg. The station also has a direct train service to Brussels-South railway station once every day.

It is served by the Gares station of both lines of the Rennes Metro.

The station is served by high-speed trains to Quimper, Brest and Paris, and regional trains to Quimper, Lorient, Nantes, Laval, Saint-Malo, Saint-Brieuc and Granville.[2][3][4][5]
