Nantes, a cultural and natural destination

Fly to Nantes, for a perfect vacation only 1 hour 15 minutes away from Lyon!

The ancient city of the Dukes of Brittany has long based its wealth on its privileged geographical position, at the mouth of the Loire and near the Atlantic Ocean. In the 21st century, Nantes has managed to transform itself and become a prosperous and attractive city once again. A major economic center, supported by the European business district of Euronantes and the neighboring port of Saint-Nazaire, it is also an essential tourist destination.

Its metamorphosis, illustrated by the audacious renovation of the Île de Nantes, testifies to the dynamism of a city resolutely turned towards the future. Its ducal castle, its museums and its historic districts are just as attractive as its art galleries, its events and its amazing machines that move around the Ile de Nantes.

Meet a giant elephant

A giant mechanical elephant is walking around the former shipyards. From its back, visitors are like on the fourth floor of a moving house. It is one of the machines on the island of Nantes, created by the street theatre company "la Machine". Also to be discovered, an exhibition space and the Carrousel des Mondes Marins populated by strange animals.

The castle of the Dukes of Brittany

The castle of the Dukes of Brittany and its museum allow you to plunge into the history of Nantes. This splendid monument is located right next to the medieval district of Le Bouffay with its pretty cobbled streets and half-timbered houses. It is pleasant to stroll along the ramparts of the castle. From the top, the view is beautiful on the mirror of water.

The Nest on the 32nd floor of the Tower of Brittany

At the top of the Tower of Brittany, the "Nid" offers a breathtaking view of the city. This rooftop terrace is the refuge of a huge bird that watches over Nantes... DJ evenings and concerts are regularly organised at the Nid, which houses a bar. It is also a key stage of the "Voyage à Nantes", a touristic and cultural journey.

The Talensac market

After a night of Nantes festivities, it is customary to meet at the Talensac market and taste oysters with a glass of muscadet. This covered market is well stocked. It is a colourful, lively place in the centre of Nantes, with fresh, local produce from the land and the sea.

Escape to Trentemoult, former fishing village

Ten minutes from the city centre of Nantes by Navibus, Trentemoult offers a real change of scenery. This last seaport on the Loire is worth a visit for its pretty colourful houses, its maze of narrow streets and its lush setting. On the spot, it is possible to enjoy the restaurants, small shops and other bistros in a village that is still very much alive.
