Nantes

Nantes occupies the confluence of the Loire and Erdre rivers in Pays de la Loire. Once the historic capital of Brittany, it retains the Château des Ducs de Bretagne, a fortified ducal residence that now houses the city history museum. The former shipyards on Île de Nantes have been recast as a cultural district, notably home to Les Machines de l’Île and its monumental mechanical elephant. Quays, riverside paths and broad public spaces underline Nantes’s long connection to Atlantic trade and industry.
