Former historical capital of Brittany, Nantes is a cultural destination par excellence. Situated at the confluence of the Erdre and the Loire, this large city adored by its inhabitants and visitors is a good place to stroll. Its old districts and preserved buildings are next to magnificent castles, museums and green spaces, places of relaxation and bike rides. A lively and pleasant city to live in, it is one of France's most popular destinations.

Established on the banks of the Loire, between Brittany and Vendée, Nantes is a city with a rich historical heritage. City of Art and History, it contains in its heart some treasures, notably in its historical center. A major attraction of the city, the Château des Ducs de Bretagne is located in a district that it is good to discover on foot, at the rhythm of its beautiful buildings. Built on the right bank of the Loire during the 13th and 15th centuries, this former main residence of the Dukes of Brittany is a real fortress, made of seven towers connected by small curtains. In fact, don't rely on its rather austere exterior appearance and push its doors to discover its beautiful walls adorned with elegant white. With its 500 metre walkway, its refined courtyard and its beautiful apartments, it is the monument to visit during your visit to Nantes. If he is admirable during the day, at night, he lights up with a thousand lights, in an astonishing spectacle to see absolutely. Recently renovated, this superb castle houses the history museum of the city of Nantes, where you will find documents, writings and numerous paintings retracing the history of this historic city. Just opposite the castle is the Lu Tower, the former factory where the famous Nantes biscuits were made. If only one of the two original towers remains today (the second having been destroyed during the Second World War), it is however absolutely worth seeing. Decorated in blue, pink and gold with its original dome, it leaves no one indifferent. And in addition to being photogenic, this tower offers one of the most beautiful panoramas of the city !

After this visit, you will find not far from there the magnificent and imposing Saint-Pierre-et-Saint-Paul cathedral. Of a flamboyant Gothic style, this cathedral whose first stone was laid in 1434 has vaults higher than those of Notre-Dame-de-Paris, culminating at 37.5 meters high. After having admired the splendour of its interior and its organ, head towards the right cross where is, in its sanctuary, the tomb of Marguerite de Foix and François II, last Duke of Brittany and father of Anne of Brittany. Then enter under the choir, in the 11th century Romanesque crypt, then in the 19th century crypt. If the second hosts an exhibition on the history of the building, the first would house the cathedral's treasure.

Continue this cultural discovery with a tour of the Musée Jules Vernes, the Musée d'Histoire Naturelle and the Musée des beaux-arts de Nantes, then take a break in the famous jardin des Plantes in Nantes. Green lung of the city spread over 7 hectares of greenery, it is among the 4 largest botanical gardens in France. With its 50,000 flowers, numerous greenhouses and superb trees, it is the perfect place for a green parenthesis, in the calm of its fountains. You can also walk or cycle along the banks of the Erbre for a bit of freshness : lined with numerous manors and castles, this river is the perfect place for a canoe or boat trip, for a romantic cruise to discover Nantes at the rhythm of the water.

The Tour Bretagne is not to be missed to immortalize superb panoramas on Nantes, by day as at nightfall : if this tower housing offices has at first sight nothing extraordinary, we guarantee you that once at the top of its 32 floors, the 360° point of view on the city is worth the detour. Do not miss to sit down for a few moments at the bar "Le Nid", atypical bubble and perfect place to have a drink at the end of the day. Then take the direction of Place Royale : lined with 19th century buildings, it is one of the most beautiful squares in Nantes. You will have to see with your own eyes the singular beauty of the Pommeraye passage, emblematic of Nantes. Inaugurated in 1843 under the reign of King Louis-Philippe, this sublime gallery is organized on three levels built around a monumental staircase. Luxurious and luminous thanks to its sublime glass roof, combining the present and the past, the "Most beautiful covered passage in Europe" has always been the pride of the people of Nantes with its finely decorated shops and galleries. After visiting it, stroll along Kervegan Street to discover its 18th century buildings, visit the Bouffay district to admire its half-timbered houses, its Apothecary's house and its numerous restaurants. Take a tour of the Place du Commerce, take the Quai de la Fosse and Rue Crébillon, visit the island of Versailles and its Japanese garden, the Butte Sainte-Anne, Île Feydeau and then head towards the island of Nantes to discover its famous "machines". Playful and original, the machines on the island of Nantes are sure to delight young and old alike. Mixing the universe of Jules Verne and Leonardo da Vinci, these articulated machines representing giant animals are adored by visitors. The most popular is the elephant which, from its metal structure 12 meters high, will lead you for an impressive visit through the island.
