Sauna California
Visitors frequently praise the friendly and welcoming staff, with specific mentions of helpfulness and kindness. However, a significant complaint is the venue's policy of charging based on ID rather than gender identity, which has led to negative experiences for transgender individuals. Some reviewers also mention issues with clientele behavior, such as single men "circling.

We walked through the doors of this swingers sauna for the first time as a couple; we'd been to clubs before, and what a pleasant surprise! The welcome we received from Léna and Loan at reception was already very reassuring, but the personalized guided tour by Sébastien was simply perfect, with a kindness and naturalness that made all the difference. Special mention goes to the reminder of the establishment's rules right from the start: here, consent and respect for everyone's boundaries (and especially those of the lady) are the absolute priority, and the staff doesn't hesitate to intervene if necessary at the first sign of misbehavior. They keep a watchful eye throughout the evening, even when the lady has been being naughty. The spa area on the ground floor is very nice, with a huge jacuzzi, a particularly spacious hammam (I've rarely seen one so large!), and a very pleasant sauna. Upstairs, in addition to the numerous cozy corners, we loved the large meeting room. It's a perfect space with a large sofa, soft lighting, and a window—ideal for relaxing and chatting before taking things further. If we had to point out one small area for improvement, most of the alcoves are a bit cramped (especially for people over 1.80m tall), sometimes with mattresses directly on the floor. You'll need to be a bit of a tightrope walker! 🤣 Finally, two important points to highlight: the solo male clientele is particularly respectful, which is far from the norm elsewhere. And the staff is cool and approachable! We'll definitely be back! Choubie and Floppy
Overall, a very good experience. It was my first time in a sauna as a straight man. The staff are lovely, very kind, and professional. I chatted with Sebastien, who immediately made me feel comfortable and was there to help if needed. I'm taking off one star because I noticed that some of the clientele, especially single men, spend their time circling behind couples who are there for hours, which creates an atmosphere that isn't necessarily pleasant for the couples. I think instead of talking to them, they follow them everywhere like dogs (sorry for the language). Otherwise, there's a very good atmosphere, whether at the bar, in the pool, or even in the sauna. People are very respectful of each other, and there's no judgment. I still recommend this establishment because the staff are very friendly and cheerful, and most of the clientele is too.
I loved the pool ♥️
🏳️⚧️ TRANS FRIENDS, RUN AWAY!!! 🏳️⚧️ Transphobic place!!!! I'm a trans woman and I've been here several times on the day when absolutely everyone can enter, and it's never been a problem. Despite the M on my ID, I've always been able to get in at the price that reflects who I am, a woman, regardless of the M on my ID. I won't go into the details, but the M or F doesn't indicate a person's actual gender, only their sex. They even gave me a sarong AND a towel. I won't name the guy who was always a jerk, but let's just call him X. However, and I'm clearly not the only one, recently the staff seems to have changed and is deeply transphobic. This led to an argument with one of you when I told him he was transphobic. The truth hurts, I guess. Yes, telling someone they look like a guy so they pay the men's rate is transphobic. Yes, charging a trans woman that rate is transphobic. When I say that X has always let me in without any problems—him and another guy, for that matter—I'm told they just don't follow the rules, that's just how it is. We insulted each other. But one of us isn't the problem person. If you're upset because I'm telling you the truth, it's time to change jobs. It's a SHAME to work in a queer space and be transphobic. TRAIN your staff. We're fed up with being greeted by cisgender, white, gay men who know nothing about trans identity and yet feel entitled to make such remarks. You're the only establishment in Rennes that's so open. Please, stop being so stupid. You're tarnishing your image. So, I don't know if there's been a change in management and/or staff, but you're going to have to go back to basics and train your staff on trans issues. It's not 2005 anymore. I've read several recent comments. And the same problems are being mentioned: Transphobia, insults, revenge... If you don't want to close your establishment, correct your HUGE mistakes. You could be in serious trouble. I hope that the numerous comments highlighting your obviously new lack of professionalism aren't ignored by your staff. But for now, dear trans friends, don't risk being subjected to transphobia. It'll save you, like me, from crying on your way out because what I experienced was an assault. However, I must commend the cleanliness of the premises and the good management of the space. When troublemakers are pushy, they are either taken back or removed (at least, that's how it was when I used to go. I don't know what it's like now).
A very warm welcome this Tuesday evening. For my first visit, I chose this time, which was expected to be quiet due to the heat, and it was, allowing me to explore the entire place. The upstairs area is huge, and the heat was bearable at the end of the day. The jacuzzi is absolutely enormous, and after a long soak, I came out feeling as soft as a marshmallow. Don't hesitate to come even if it's hot; the jacuzzi water is at a perfect temperature. Honestly, a fantastic facility! 👍
If you're into swinging or just curious, it's an interesting and pretty cool experience. Try to come on evenings with foam parties; it's busier then. Oh, and the staff is really cool too! P.S.: I can only speak for the mixed-gender nights.
Visited in May 2026: Having been there before, the interior facilities are decent and the staff are friendly. However, avoid this place if you are a trans person, as the price you pay is based on your ID card, not your gender. This applies even if you have a strong feminine appearance.
