Once more, no time to write stuff up, so have a double dose of pictures getting from the conference back to our hotel room and (the next day) getting ready to leave town.
Entrance to the subway to get back home. The university was near but not at the end of its line; our hotel was just off the central depot.
And this is from walking around our hotel's neighborhood.
This national theater was just down the street from the supermarket we kept finding dinners at.
And here's the market that had that fascinating bread-slicing machine and the HappyVore burgers.
Our hotel's room key, which delighted us by being based on a punched-hole system.
Here's our trashed hotel room. Some day I'll remember to take one of the place looking pristine.
Out our window was this very ordinary roof and the more charming buildings behind. Also nearby was a sign warning not to leave the window open or pigeons will get in.
The main train station, Gare de Rennes, on the top of a hill. Made for a nice spot to rest while we waited for a train to be ready for us.

Another view of the town from the hill top. There's also a passage into a lower level of the train station, which you can kind of make out from the way there's a sort of slope in the hillside. Look where the motorcycle in the background is.
Oh yeah, and a zoom photo looking back at the street our hotel's on. That cafe in the corner? We had breakfast there our last morning in town in 2015.
And you know I have to try a panoramic photograph!
