The Couvent des Jacobins is a 15th-century Dominican convent in the centre of Rennes, converted by Vinci into a congress centre and opened in 2018. It integrates modern auditoriums within heritage architecture, next to the Place Sainte-Anne.
Sources describe a Grand Auditorium of about 1,000 seats (1,200 in one official listing), a heritage auditorium of 300 to 400 seats, a further 500-seat room, 25 sub-committee rooms, and about 4,000 m² of exhibition space. Receptions of up to 1,500 seated or 3,000 standing are quoted. Surfaces and seat counts differ between sources, so confirm your layout with the venue.
The centre suits conferences and conventions in a historic district, with the Brittany programme available: Rennes old town, Saint-Malo and the Emerald Coast within an hour.
