A Fire That Burned for Six Days

In December 1720 a drunk carpenter's accident started a fire that burned for six days and destroyed around 900 timber houses in Rennes. The centre was rebuilt in stone on a grid, which is why the city has two entirely different old towns.

The clock: Rennes keeps UTC+1 and is the capital of Brittany, where Breton — a Celtic language related to Welsh — is still taught in bilingual schools.
