Rennes Métropole (French pronunciation: [ʁɛn metʁɔpɔl]) is the métropole, an intercommunal structure, centred on the city of Rennes. It is located in the Ille-et-Vilaine department, in the Brittany region, western France. It was created in January 2015, replacing the previous Communauté d'agglomération de Rennes,[1] which had itself succeeded in 2000 to the previous district created in 1970 with less powers than the current métropole. Its area is 705.0 km2. Its population was 451,762 in 2018, of which 217,728 in Rennes proper.[2]

The goal of the Métropoles (intercommunal structure for the largest French cities like Lille, Lyon, Bordeaux or Strasbourg) is to build a better metropolitan area by synchronizing the transport system, environmental actions, urbanization, economic and social development, culture, university research, etc.
