The town-hall of Guichen.Pont-Réan administrates both towns of Guichen and Pont-Réan. These two little towns of 8600 inhabitants in total, are distant of 4,5 km from each other, and belong to a semi-rural area 20 km on the south side of Rennes, a big student city of the West of France (Region Bretagne).
Guichen.Pont-Rean is a young town area, with a lot of families, so that there are about 1000 pupils in the primary schools of the town. Many sports and cultural clubs and associations are also based on the area, as well as the équipements of a small town : medical services, a cinema, sports equipments, a cultural centre and a good library.
There are 3 public primary schools in the town : two in Guichen (schools « Charcot » and « Callunes »), and one in Pont-Réan (Marcel Greff). There are also two catholic primary schools, and a public gymnasium for the teenagers from 11 to 15 years old. A « Youth Service » (« Clad Ufcv ») proposes activities to the pupils in connection with the schools on mornings, evenings, Wednesday afternoon (school is off on that moment), and during the school holidays. This service is run by the association Ufcv, but is part of the politic of the town. Finally, two associations of parents support the schools in organizing actions to get some fundings for the pedagogical projects.
