Things to do and places to see in Nantes

Situated between Brittany and the Loire Valley, Nantes through the centuries fired the imagination of its people and visitors with creativity in the air. There is something to see and do all over the city, which will certainly please all sorts of visitors - from young to old.

• Château des Ducs de Bretagne
  Located in the heart of the medieval quarter, the Château is the home of the Nantes Museum of History, offering a walking tour around the 1150 objects within collections pertaining to Nantes’ history (the Atlantic trade, World War I and II…), showcasing the city’s history from 1945 to today.
• Les Machines de l'Île
  A very unusual artistic project, combining the stories of Jules Verne, the mechanical universe of Leonardo da Vinci and the industrial history of Nantes in living machines that sometimes escape from the workshop to explore the surroundings. Visitors can discover interactive sculptures like the Great Elephant, the Marine Worlds and the Heron Tree - and sometimes even take the controls!
• Passage Pommeraye
  The Passage Pommeraye, a spectacular 19th-century glass-roofed shopping mall, is not to be missed in the newer part of town, offering a sculptural and architectural treasure to be discovered while shopping.
