### Quadrangulations with no pendant vertices

#### Abstract

We prove that the metric space associated with a uniformly distributed planar quadrangulation with $n$ faces and no pendant vertices converges modulo a suitable rescaling to the Brownian map. This is a first step towards the extension of recent convergence results for random planar maps to the case of graphs satisfying local constraints.
