Parc du Thabor (Cruising)

The Parc du Thabor, Rennes's grand public garden east of the centre, has a long-standing gay cruising tradition in its quieter, wooded north-eastern corners. Activity is discreet and mainly during daylight hours when the park is open. As a busy public park frequented by families and joggers, discretion is essential and all local public-decency laws apply. France is broadly tolerant and Rennes is a safe city, but this remains an informal, unofficial meeting spot rather than a venue. Check the park's seasonal opening and closing times before visiting.
