Interactive map in Rennes — public toilets.
What the map shows
Around 260 locations are mapped across the metropolitan area. The colour of the marker shows the fee: free, paid, or unspecified where the open data is silent. Purple therefore means “unknown”, not “paid”.
Some locations carry opening hours. Park blocks — Thabor, Gayeulles, prairies Saint-Martin — follow the hours of the grounds themselves, which vary sharply between winter and summer: check before relying on them.
Free and accessible
The vast majority of the facilities recorded in Rennes are free. The few paid ones are mainly at the station and in a handful of shopping hubs. Wheelchair accessibility is shown where it has been surveyed.
Useful on a bike as well as on foot
This map is a by-product of Sécu’Cycle, a safer cycling route planner. On a ride along the Vilaine or the Ille-et-Rance canal, knowing where the next open facility is saves a risky detour.
