« I have been a visiting professor at IGR-IAE de Rennes for several years and, I must confess, each visit is always a pleasure. The City offers all the facilities of a metropolis (metro, surface transportation, restaurants, shops) but on a human scale with a smile. IGR is a welcoming place with friendly staff and students. While buckwheat crepes are a major staple of Rennes restaurants (‘creperie’), the city has also a wide variety of all kinds of restaurants and bistros. To visit Rennes is to come back…»
