Visit Nantes
Nantes Island is an island district, formerly an industrial area. Fascinating with its wide walking paths, outdoor bars, and Les Machines de l'Île (The Machines of the Isle): a unique place inspired by the works of Jules Verne and Leonardo da Vinci, whose centerpiece is a 12-meter-high elephant on which tourists embark to discover the city.
Just a stone's throw from the castles of the Nantes region, Nantes is also very close to the sea, making the city just as attractive for summer holidays as for winter ones. To the southwest, one of the gems not to be missed is the stunning island of Noirmoutier, with its sand dunes and pine forests.
Surrounded by a moat, the imposing Château des Ducs de Bretagne is Nantes' main monument, an essential stop on any visit to France's sixth-largest city. Following an extensive 15-year restoration program, the castle now houses the Nantes History Museum, where visitors can explore the city's past as France's largest port.
Nantes' historic center is nestled in the heart of the maze of streets west of the castle in the Bouffay district. In addition to the half-timbered houses, you'll discover some of the city's best shops, and the Passage Pommeraye, a spectacular 19th-century glass-roofed shopping arcade, listed as a historical monument since 1976.
