French: Rennes, Gallo: Resnn, Breton: Roazhon, Latin: Condate, Civitas Redonum) is a city in the east of Brittany in northwestern France. Rennes is the capital of the region of Brittany, as well as the Ille-et-Vilaine department.
Rennes is the administrative capital of the country of Brittany, in France, the other historical capital being Nantes. It has a long history due to its location at the confluence of two rivers.
The eastern Armorican people of Redones founded Condate —an ancient Celtic word meaning confluent— at the confluence of the Ille and Vilaine rivers and made it the capital of a territory that extended to the Bay of Mont Saint-Michel. The name of the city of Redon also reflects that of the Redones. Early in the 1st century BCE, they adopted the Greek and Roman practice of issuing coinage, adapting the widely imitated gold staters of Philip II of Macedon, in the characteristic Celtic coin metal alloy called billion. Without inscriptions, as the Celtic practice was, the Redones coinage features a charioteer whose pony has a human head. Large hoards of their coins were unearthed in the "treasure of Amanlis" found in June 1835 and that of Saint-Jacques-de-la-Lande, discovered in February 1941. The Museum at Rennes contains a large representative collection.
They joined the Gaulish coalition against Rome in 57 BC, which was suppressed by Crassus. The following year, Roman emissaries were held hostage by the Redones, which obliged Julius Caesar to intervene in Armorica and suppress the rebels, and the following year to cross the Channel to discourage further support of the Redones by the Britons. In 52 the Redones responded to the call of Vercingetorix to furnish a large contingent of warriors.

Hellroaring/Yellowstone Confluence. Muddy and high but somehow calm. Looking closely you'll see where they actually come together starting in the bottom left of the frame. Couldn't help but think of the Wonka River of chocolate.

The group had started their journey at a ‘depot,’ the home of Mary Meachum, a free woman of color and the widow of a prominent African American clergyman, John Berry Meachum. Some of the group was apprehended. Among them were Esther and her two children who belonged to Henry Shaw, a prominent St. Louisan.

Luang Prabang (ຫລວງພະບາງ in Laotian or Louang Phabang), commonly transliterated into Western languages from the pre-1975 Lao spelling ຫຼວງພຣະບາງ literally meaning "Royal Buddha Image," is a city in north central Laos, consisting of 58 adjacent villages, of which 33 comprise the UNESCO Town Of Luang Prabang World Heritage Site. It was listed in 1995 for unique and "remarkably" well preserved architectural, religious and cultural heritage, a blend of the rural and urban developments over several centuries, including the French colonial influences during the 19th and 20th centuries.
The center of the city consists of four main roads and is located on a peninsula at the confluence of the Nam Khan and Mekong rivers. Luang Prabang is well known for its numerous Buddhist temples and monasteries. Every morning, hundreds of monks from the various monasteries walk through the streets collecting alms. One of the city's major landmarks is Mount Phou Si, a large steep hill which despite the constrained scale of the city, is 150 meters (490 feet) high, a steep staircase leads to Wat Chom Si shrine and an overlook of the city and the rivers.
The city was formerly the capital of a kingdom of the same name. It had also been known by the ancient name of Chiang Thong. It was the royal capital and seat of government of the Kingdom of Laos, until the Pathet Lao takeover in 1975. The city is part of Luang Prabang District of Luang Prabang Province and is the capital and administrative center of the province. It lies approximately 300 kilometers (190 miles) north of the capital Vientiane. Currently, the population of the city as a whole is roughly 56,000 inhabitants with the UNESCO protected site being inhabited by around 24,000.

Confluence of the Middle Fork (left) and South Fork (right) of the Kings River, California, seen from Yucca Point. This is the upstream end of the deepest canyon in North America.
The confluence of the rivers is at 2,260 feet elevation. Downstream from here, Spanish Mountain rises to 10,051 feet (3063 meters), but the river is only about 1,750 feet (535 meters) in elevation, creating a canyon that is approximately 8200 feet (2500 meters) deep. There is no maintained trail into the heart of the canyon, but expert kayakers occasionally hike down and navigate this stretch of river.
At the confluence of the Riggs Street (to the left) and Jack's (to the right) Brooks, Oxford, Connecticut.

The Paria river at its confluence with Bucksin Gulch. The Gulch joins from the left and is not visible in this picture. Jak is standing upstream in the Paria. Our exit point, the White House trailhead is about 8 miles upstream. We were about 14 miles into our hike from the Wire Pass trailhead. Lee's Ferry, where the Paria joins the Colorado, is about 31 miles downstream from here.
