Review:
Notre-Dame-in-Saint-Melaine is a French abbey church located in Rennes, department of Ille-et-Vilaine, France, just next to the western end of Thabor Park. All that remains of the former Benedictine abbey today is the abbot's residence, the cloister with its elaborate decoration and the Notre Dame church. The church has elements from the Romanesque era, together with statues, tombs and 19th-century and contemporary stained glass windows. Since 2016, Father Nicolas Guillou, appointed pastor of the parish. Is in charge of the Abbey. The sanctuary is dedicated to St. Melaine, the first bishop of Rennes, who died in the SIXTH century and was buried on the hill of the Field of Repos in Rennes. The church served as a cathedral in the first half of the 19TH century until the Saint Peter's Cathedral in Rennes was rebuilt.
