The old seat of the Dukes of Brittany is the final château on the Loire before it empties into the Atlantic Ocean. The fortified palace is in the eastern part of the old town, although it’s hard to miss the hefty walls and towers that encircle the refined Grand Logis where the dukes lived. The castle was built in the 13th century and occupied for 3...
The west side of the Île de Nantes is inhabited by whimsical animatronic creatures inspired by Jules Verne’s writings and Leonardo da Vinci’s fanciful gizmos, and brought to life by the artist François Delaroziere. All these extraordinary machines are interactive: The Grand Éléphant for example is 12 metres tall and carries 52 passengers on its bac...
Between Rue de la Fosse and Rue Santeuil, this shopping arcade from 1843 isn’t just a sophisticated place to shop but an ingenious piece of architecture and a photo-worthy sight. The passage was built on a steep slope, and it adapted to the nine-metre height difference with a clever intermediate floor between the two street levels. Passage Pommeray...
Classified as one of France’s “remarkable gardens”, the Jardin des Plantes packs 10,000 species into its seven hectares. The gardens are right in the middle of the city, just ten minutes on foot from the Château des Ducs de Bretagne. It’s no ordinary park: The Palm House here is a fabulous late-19th-century metal and glass structure with plants fro...
When you’re exploring Île Feydeau you may wonder why this district just south of the centre is called an island, or why streets have names like Quai Turenne when there’s no sign of water. Well, it was an island up to the 1930s when one of the arms of the Loire was blocked off. Before the 18th-century Feydeau had been uninhabitable marshland when a ...
Nantes’ Natural History Museum has a fine setting in the city’s old mint, and has galleries for every branch of natural science: There are zoological, paleontological, mineralogical, ethnographical and a host of other collections from fields with long names, assembled since the 1700s. The specimen guaranteed to turn heads is the fin whale skeleton ...
Begun in 1434, it took more than 400 years to build the city’s cathedral. Construction continued through the 1600s in the flamboyant gothic design despite it being long out of fashion by then, because it matched the earlier work. Another intriguing titbit is that Nicolas Fouquet, the high-living Superintendent of Finances in Louis XIV’s court, was ...
Part of a new city district built in the 18th century, Cours Cambronne is a magnificent square between two 180 metre-long terraces of neoclassical mansions. Step along the regal central avenue to see the statue of Pierre Cambronne, a military general born in Nantes and injured in the Battle of Waterloo in 1815. Sixteen of the glorious pilastered ma...
It helps to remember that much of Nantes’ Ancien Régime splendour was financed by the slave trade. Nantes was the first city in France to ship slaves on an industrial scale and during the 18th century the largest proportion of France’s slave ships departed from this port. So the memorial commemorating the abolition of slavery next to the Loire on Q...
Nantes has had a long relationship with the printing press since publishing its first title, Les Lunettes des Princes by the Breton poet Jean Meschinot, in 1493. This museum was founded in 1986 by master printer Sylvain Chiffoleau and typesetter Robert Colombeau, and has built up an astonishing collection of manual and mechanical printing presses. ...
