NANTES
Where can you come across an elephant strolling along the embankment? Where was Jules Verne born? Where is the oldest Château of the Loire?
In Nantes of course! Open your eyes wide - the maritime capital of western France has some surprises in store.
France's sixth largest town is an immensely attractive place, regularly top ranked in terms of quality of life.
Nantes fully intends to assert itself as the main tourist and cultural destination of the Atlantic coast, offering a new range of tourist attractions: the "Machines of the Isle" and the Great Elephant, the Château and its multimedia museum, and the "Estuaire 2007 2009 2011" artistic itinerary.
WHAT’S ON…
“Estuaire” - An artistic itinerary on the banks of the Loire
2009 – June 6 to August 23
Every two years, over a period of three months, the estuary from Nantes to Saint-Nazaire is entrusted to some thirty artists of international reputation: Daniel Buren, Felice Varini, Kinya Maruyama, etc. The area is thus punctuated by a series of contemporary monumental, fun and extraordinary
works – permanent or temporary, created on site, in towns or ports, in or on the water, visible from the riverside or from the river itself. Discover the 60 km art trail by boat, by bike or by foot!
