The Castle of the Dukes of Brittany, a medieval fortress reshaped during the Renaissance, houses the Nantes history museum spanning six centuries. Surrounded by moats and encircled by granite and tuffeau ramparts, it was the residence of the Dukes of Brittany and the site where the Edict of Nantes was signed in 1598.
Machines of the Isle

The Machines of the Isle is a unique artistic project housed in the former Nantes shipyards. The 12-meter-tall Grand Elephant, inspired by the worlds of Jules Verne and Leonardo da Vinci, walks across the island carrying up to 50 passengers at a time.
Passage Pommeraye

The Passage Pommeraye, a shopping arcade opened in 1843, is a neoclassical architectural gem spread across three levels linked by monumental sculpted staircases. Listed as a historic monument, this covered passage — unique in Europe for its change in elevation — offers a journey through time in the heart of Nantes.

A gift as creative and poetic as Nantes itself.
The sky of Nantes
Located at 47° north latitude near the Loire estuary, Nantes enjoys a temperate oceanic climate with skies that often clear after showers. Its proximity to the Atlantic provides an unobstructed western horizon, ideal for observing setting stars and low-hanging planets.
