What would a summer be like without a delicious ice cream melting gently between bursts of laughter on a sunny terrace? If you’re in Rennes or the surrounding area, here’s our top pick of must-visit places to enjoy the best flavors and delight both young and old.

The Sainte-Anne Glacier, the star of Rennes' summer

You simply can't miss the Sainte-Anne Glacier, located in the square of the same name, as it gets swarmed the moment the sun's rays appear. It's no wonder, given the menu that will make your head spin with 55 flavors, ranging from the classic to the downright wild, like lemon meringue, Kinder Bueno, Bulgarian yogurt, or marshmallow. Everything is made with raw milk and top-quality ingredients, by the maestro Eric Elien, already celebrated in Perros-Guirec and Saint-Brieuc. You'll also find Italian-style ice creams, smoothies, and crazy toppings (like Tagada strawberries, meringues, ...). A summer institution you absolutely must not miss!

Address: 4 Pl. Sainte-Anne, 35000 Rennes, France


Cupÿou, the stylish frozen yogurt

Craving a lighter yet just as delicious treat? Head over to Cupÿou, where 0% frozen yogurt reigns supreme. Served with fruits, cereals, sauces, and other sweet delights, it’s an ultra-customizable sweet break. Plus, there's a sunny terrace, cozy blankets in winter, and fresh salads for lunch... It’s the ultimate healthy and chill hangout.

Ty’Papo, the Breton artisan who delights

Head to Erquy (or Val-André) to taste the creations of Ty’Papo, an artisan ice cream maker who loves good flavors. 75 flavors made with local raw milk and natural fruit purees, served in crispy homemade cones. Special mention goes to the brownie–pecan and Breton cake–Madagascar vanilla flavors. And if you fall in love, take-home tubs are available too!
