It is the big day for the owners of cafes and restaurants who can welcome their customers again since this morning.
Despite the capricious weather, many Rennes residents enjoy a coffee or an aperitif on the terrace.
Covered or not, the latter have flourished in recent days all over the city.
The city, which has decided to give them more space in public space as a boost to the reopening, has thus accepted “120 requests for extension or creation,” she said in a press release.
