The city of Nantes France

Nantes is a city in the Pays de la Loire région of France, near the Atlantic coast.
It is built on the banks of the Loire river and is one of the larger cities in France.
The older medieval part of the city is concentrated around the restored Gothic Cathédrale St-Pierre St-Paul.

The Cathédrale St-Pierre St-Paul.

The centre is mainly pedestrian streets. So you can walk around the narrow cobbled streets.

You can find every kind of restaurant in this area. Plus a large variety of shops and cafes.

Most of the large designer names can be found around rue Crébillon.

The nearby Passage Pommeraye is a 19th-century shopping arcade on 3 levels and is well a worth a visit.

For a large city Nantes has a lot of very large parks.

We spent a day there in Oct 2006 we had been touring in the Brittany area.

You can park just outside the pedestrian area and the centre is an easy walk.

There is a fast train service from Paris the TGV takes about 2 hours.

If you would like to stay there are plenty of Hotel deals to pick from
