BattleKart Rennes

In La Mézière, at the gates of Rennes, the BattleKart runs electric karts on a track with no fixed layout, where projectors draw a circuit and life-size games on the floor. You settle in with a simple seatbelt, with no helmet or glasses, for a few-minute games that mix racing and challenges, open to families and groups of friends. An original way to discover karting, halfway to video gaming.

The various game modes, from classic racing to colour battles by way of motorised football, vary the fun from one game to the next thanks to the onboard sensors. An anti-collision system brakes the karts on contact, which makes the activity safe and open from one metre forty-five. Part of the Funlab leisure complex, the place lends itself to birthdays and group outings.

Rennes, capital of Brittany, charms with its medieval centre of half-timbered houses, its Brittany parliament and its Place des Lices. The lively student city is not short of outing ideas. The BattleKart adds a playful activity sheltered in all weather, welcome under the changeable sky of western Brittany.

Part of the Funlab complex, the place lets you string several activities together on site, which makes it a destination for half a day. The games, renewed by the projections, are booked in advance for groups. At the heart of the Ille-et-Vilaine, between the historic centre of Rennes, the Vilaine valley and the Breton coast an hour's drive away, the region offers plenty to extend the outing.
