Nantes is a beautiful city located in the Loire region of France. As a tourist, there are plenty of things to do and see in Nantes. Begin your visit with a stroll along the River Loire. Here, you’ll find plenty of cafés and restaurants, and some of the city’s best attractions, such as the Castle of the Dukes of Brittany and the Graslin Theatre.

Continue your tour of Nantes with a visit to the Jardin des Plantes. This botanical garden is home to more than 10,000 species of flora and fauna, and is the perfect spot for a picnic.

Afterwards, explore the city’s many museums. Check out the Musée des Beaux-Arts, the Natural History Museum, and the Archaeology Museum. For something a bit more modern, head to the Hangar a Bananes, an art center and cultural hub.

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

When you’re ready to take a break, head to the Place du Commerce. This square is one of the city’s most popular spots, and is home to many restaurants and shops. Spend an hour or two browsing the boutiques and admiring the architecture.
