Welcome to Nantes, the fifth largest city in France. Just 239 miles south of Paris, this thriving commercial and maritime hub remains one of the wealthiest ports in the country. What used to be a place known only for ship building and trading, is now an architectural spectacle, boasting gorgeous and memorable renovations since serious structural damage in during World War II.
Although the fresh scenery makes for a pretty portrait, Nantes doesn’t lose itself in modernity – in fact, it loves its past. No longer a part of Brittany, Nantes ‘s new profile still celebrates its history by preserving its saga in medieval remnants, the Castle of Ducode Bretagne, the Musee des Beaux-Arts, and the Musee de Jules Verne.
It’s likely your flight to Nantes will be packed with students: With more than 30,000 college students in tow, Nantes is quickly becoming an educational and cultural core of the land, beckoning both youth and more mature crowds to experience its uniqueness.
