Attractions In Nantes

Major tourist attractions in central Nantes include the Chateau des Ducs de Bretagne, or Castle of the Dukes of Brittany, on Place Marc Elder, which was originally built in 1207. Today, the Chateau houses the Nantes History Museum, which details the history of Nantes and the surrounding area, including scale models of the city at various points in its existence. The nearby Cathédrale de Saint-Pierre et Saint-Paul, or Cathedral of St. Peter and St. Paul, was only completed in 1891, after construction began over four centuries early, and features an eclectic mix of architectural styles, including stained glass, sculpted tombs and lavishly embellished gates. Outside the city center, to the northwest, Parc de Proce, on Rue des Dervallieres, is a huge, well-maintained park set in undulating hills and just the place for a relaxing stroll among camellias, magnolias and rhododendrons,

Places To Visit Outside Nantes

Away from the urban population centers, the Pays de la Loire retains a rural character with many attractive towns and villages within easy reach of Nantes. Redon is just over 60 minutes drive northwest of Nantes, via the N137 and D614, a route that skirts along the eastern boundary of the Parc Naturel Régional de Brière, or Brière Regional Natural Park. The town was built around the Abbey of Saint Sauveur, at the confluence of the rivers Vilaine and Oust, and is a central point on the Nantes-Brest canal. The medieval walled town of Vannes, a similar distance west of Redon, via the D775, is a popular departure point for boat trips around the Gulf of Morbihan.

Parking And Traffic Information In Nantes

Nantes has its fair share of car parks. Parking Tour Bretagne, on Place de Bretagne, with 663 spaces and Parking Decré-Bouffay, on Rue du Moulin, with 614 spaces, provide central, if rather cramped, parking in the immediate vicinity of the historic center. Parking Feydeau, on Cours Commandant d'Estienne d'Orves, with 520 spaces, is a little further away, but still fairly central and provides spacious parking spaces, unlike some of the other car parks in Nantes. With the exception of the historic center, which is largely pedestrianized, Nantes is easily navigable by car, although it's probably worth adding 25%, or more, to your journey time if you're traveling at morning or evening peak times.
