Historically, Nantes was the capital of the Duchy of Brittany during the Middle Ages, and you can be sure to discover more about the city with numerous historic sites, castles and museums!

Head west of the Château des Ducs de Bretagne, and you’ll find yourself in Bouffay District, the historic quarter of Nantes. Explore the maze of winding streets and peruse all that the enticing local boutiques have to offer.

In the centre of Nantes is Place Royale, a sophisticated 18-century square. Nearby is the busy Rue Crébillion, a vibrant street with many shops and restaurants, as well as the Cours Cambronne square, which includes a small tree-lined park with benches.
