Our rich

heritage

City of art and history, Nantes holds numerous attractions for heritage lovers. From the medieval streets of the Bouffay district to the Place Graslin, the city centre takes you on a journey back in time via its historic monuments, including the Castle of the Dukes of Brittany, the Gothic cathedral and the Passage Pommeraye.

But Nantes also owes its unique atmosphere to its industrial heritage. On the Ile de Nantes, the former warehouses of the famous 19th century Dubigeon shipyard are today one of the flagship sites of Nantes creativity. Just steps from the castle, the iconic LU tower, a remnant of the famous biscuit factory, adorns the Lieu Unique, a key cultural venue in Nantes. These vestiges of the past coexist perfectly with the creative urban renewal of the city.

Sustain-

ability

Nantes was the first French city to be designated European Green Capital, and is recognised nationally and internationally for its commitment to the environment. With more than 100 parks and gardens, urban forests, a zero pesticide and zero waste policy, and the decision to encourage soft mobility, the city gives nature plenty of space. 


A forerunner in the field of CSR, Nantes cultivates a socially-responsible and inclusive environment, by promoting social equality, hiring people with disabilities and encouraging community spirit. And these values are shared by the business tourism community.
