They also talk about Rennes as an epicenter of innovation and creativity with a booming culinary scene and avant-garde culture, showing the dynamism of the city. The marketing of these premises offers “a unique opportunity for restaurateurs, merchants and event creators who wish to participate in this excitement”.

Five spaces

The call for projects concerns “several strategic spaces” within the Hôtel Dieu:

• Three catering cells with covered and outdoor terraces ideal for innovative and different culinary concepts.
• A chapel, an exceptional and atypical place, to be reinvented to accommodate unique cultural or event projects, open to all.
• A perfect business to complete the site's offering with an activity aligned with the spirit of the place.

Opening in 2026

Applications are open until March 31, 2025 for opening in 2026.

The Hôtel-Dieu requalification project provides for the creation of 8,640 m² spaces dedicated to leisure and services: shops, hostels (You Are Rennes), coworking (Now Coworking), urban leisure and microbrewery (The Roof Origines).
