Overview

  • Nantes never lets its past sit still: a biscuit factory became an arts venue, and the old shipyards now build a giant mechanical elephant. This self-guided walking tour traces that constant reinvention through the city's essential landmarks, from the medieval Chateau des ducs de Bretagne to the mechanical wonders of Les Machines de l'Ile.
