Nantes cruise port guide
Nantes, a city on the Loire River in the Upper Brittany region of western France, has a long history as a port and industrial center. It's home to the restored, medieval Château des Ducs de Bretagne, where the Dukes of Brittany once lived. The castle is now a local history museum with multimedia exhibits, as well as a walkway atop its fortified ramparts.
About Nantes
Nantes is France's sixth-largest city, situated on the Loire River 50 km from the Atlantic coast. Historically a major French port and the base of the Dukes of Brittany, it is today a vibrant cultural capital awarded the European Green Capital designation in 2013. River cruise and coastal cruise passengers are drawn to the Château des Ducs de Bretagne, the Jules Verne Museum, and the city's innovative arts scene.
The Château des Ducs de Bretagne anchors the historic quarter and houses a rich city history museum. Within walking distance, the Cathedral of Saint-Pierre-et-Saint-Paul contains the magnificent Renaissance tomb of Francis II. The Machines de l'Île — including a 12-metre mechanical elephant that carries passengers — is among the most imaginative public art installations in Europe. The Jules Verne Museum provides context for the city's most famous literary export.
