lush and rush

While I was standing in the entrance to a yard, enjoying the view, people walked by busy with their errands.

“Lush and rush” is actually quite a good description of Rennes if you interpret lush is a broad sense – so much to see, sometimes to smell, many new impressions to absorb, in the center it appears like frozen in time. And yet it is a modern city with people busy living their modern life.
