The entire reason I went to France was for the Trans Musicales Festival that took place in Rennes over several days.

The only band I knew going in when I was invited was Vancouver’s own Dralms, but other than them, I had a lot of digging to do.

I found a ton of great new artists and had a quite a time going from stage to stage to photograph as many as I could.

You can find the full recap of Day 1, Day 2, and Day 3 of the festival on 3am Revelations (the music blog I collaborate with), and see the entire set of photos from the festival on the Facebook page by clicking HERE.

First post of my #CmacSeesLondonCmacSeesFrance tour is from Rennes. Aside from the Trans Musicales festival, I got to do a little bit of wandering around this beautiful city, and the festival was gracious enough to put together a walking tour in English.

Things I learned:
- A LOT of Rennes burned down in a fire, and it was due, ironically, to a drunken carpenter
- Their market on the Saturday is amazing. You can buy practically anything, including oysters that they’ll shuck for you on the spot.
- You can eat and drink said oysters in public and it’s the greatest.
- There is a place called “Poutine Bros” that is decked out in Canadian stuff, and has menu items named after Rob Ford and Carey Price to name a few.
