Brittany regional capital, 1h25 from Paris by TGV. The half-timbered medieval core around Place Sainte-Anne and Place du Parlement is the walkable anchor; Beaulieu (the university district) and Saint-Hélier are dense residential pockets. France has no formal DNV; long séjour temporaire visiteur or talent passport apply. Schengen. Roughly 50% cheaper than central Paris on rent with a real Breton food-and-drink scene (galettes, cider, kouign-amann) and 1-hour access to the Brittany coast.
