How to get to Trans Musicales?
The Trans Musicales , as well as the Bars en Trans , have taken into account the strike notice filed for December 5, especially since the SNCF has blocked the sale of train tickets for the dates from December 5 to 8.
Thus, the artists arrive by vehicle, in particular in coaches chartered especially for them, just like the media. The proper organization was planned, and had already proven itself during the strike of 1995 because the organizers had succeeded in bringing the group Daft Punk in spite of the transport problems.
For spectators, STAR shuttles are planned to the Parc Expo de Bruz , on Thursday 6, Friday 7 and Saturday 8 December, from the Esplanade Charles-de-Gaulle (next to the performance hall Le Liberté ). In addition, other lines provide a direct link, on Fridays and Saturdays, between 25 municipalities of Rennes Métropole and the Parc Expo .
In general, for the duration of the Trans, carpooling is strongly recommended for festival-goers. To do this, do not hesitate to consult the current requests or to submit yours on the dedicated Facebook page created by the organizers of the festival: ” Come to Rennes for Trans Musicales and Bars en Trans “. You can also inquire with the various bus companies operating nationally, as well as vehicle rental agencies. The organizers of the Trans Musicales provide you with a detailed list of means of transport on their website.
Practical information: the Trans site offers you online ticketing as well as a list of physical points of sale and details the accessibility of the concert halls, in particular for people with reduced mobility or hearing impaired (some halls have magnetic loops) .
Everything has therefore been implemented to make you spend exceptional musical moments, thanks to a quality and very varied program.
