Sports Partners

Tout Rennes Court

This partnership with the great annual race is historic as it has existed for many, many years. Every year we host and cater for all the athletes in the AS race for men and women.

The AS race is an international race (by invitation) of 5 kilometres for women and 10 kilometres for men through the streets of the city of Rennes.

In the 2013 edition, the Ethiopians had struck a blow as they took the top 10 places in the men's race and 7 of their female compatriots finished in the top 10 of the race including the title. Certainly thanks to the sweet night spent at the Castel :) . On the French side, Laila Traby finished 15th and Stéphane Lefrand finished 22nd.

Tour de Bretagne

We have been partners with the Tour de Bretagne Cycliste for many years. We welcome various teams as well as the race organisation, VIPs such as Bernard Hinault (five-time winner of the Tour de France, three-time winner of the Tour of Italy, two-time winner of the Tour of Spain and one-time world champion), a member of the Race Direction, and the Republican Guard.

The fifty-sixth edition of the Tour de France in 2023 will start on 25 April from Plouescat (29) and finish on 1 May in Chateaugiron (35) after nearly 1,250 kilometres through the five departments of historic Brittany.

The first edition took place in 1967 when the race was held over a single stage between Le Hinglé (22) and Louvigné (35). The Tour de Bretagne soon became an international race (1973). In 2005, the race was listed by the International Cycling Union in category 2.2. A real success!

Rennes Sur Roulettes

Rennes sur Roulettes is an annual event, which takes place the last weekend of May on the Esplanade Général de Gaulle. The "Fête du Roller" gives pride of place to the sensations of urban sliding. Every year, more than 7,000 skaters and 30,000 spectators attend this major event in Brittany. This year again the crowd will be numerous to come and encourage young and old throughout the 2 days of the festival and to support the competitors of the stage of the World Cup Inline, international circuit of Marathons.

Brit Hotel Rennes - Le Castel has been a partner of Rennes sur Roulettes for many years. Each year we welcome different teams and sometimes even VIPs like Taïg Kris (photo below), a man of glide with an exceptional record of achievement (triple world champion of roller skating, winner of the X-Games, holder of 2 world records in the long jump and in the void). In the early 2000s, Taig Kris, at the height of his career, was the first man to complete a double backspin in an official competition.

Not to mention the following teams who visit us regularly:

• The Cofidis and FDJ cycling teams come to the hotel during the surrounding races, in particular during the Route Adélie, an event in the French Cycling Cup.

• The French Roller Skating Federation, which comes to Rennes every summer for their training course.
• The players from Vannes Olympique Club Football come for lunch and briefings before some of their games.
• The Girondins de Bordeaux B team come to relax before their games in Brittany (Saint-Malo, Vitré...)

• During the AS Chantepie International Basketball Tournament, reserved for minime girls, we welcome various teams.
• Thanks to the partnership with the league and the Judo committee, we receive several judokas for tournaments organised in the Rennes region. In 2013, we also welcomed an ambassador of choice in the person of Jean-Jacques Mounier, the first French judoka to win an Olympic medal (bronze medal in 1972 in Munich).

Angelo Parisi, Marc Alexandre, Vincent, Cécile Nowak and Lucie Decosse, all Olympic champions!
