Before the building of this airport, Rennes had a little hippodrome which was used as a districting strip in Gayeulles, to the north east of the town. In 1931 work commenced on a proper airport to service Rennes, and a game of 380,000 square meter in Saint-Jacques-de-la-Lande to the south west of the town was get and construction set about. On Jul 28, 1933 the new airport was officially opened by Pierre Cot.
