Activity itinerary

Saint Herblain

Begin your tour at the stunning St. Peter's and St. Paul's Cathedral, a magnificent Gothic-style cathedral located in the heart of Nantes. Admire the intricate architecture, including the beautiful stained glass windows and towering spires. Take some time to explore the interior of the cathedral and learn about its rich history.

Place Royale

After visiting the cathedral, make your way to Place Royale, a picturesque square located nearby. Marvel at the grandeur of the neoclassical buildings that surround the square, including the majestic Fountain of the Four Continents at its centre. Take a leisurely stroll around the square and soak in the elegant atmosphere.

Passage Pommeraye

Next, head to Passage Pommeraye, a historic shopping arcade that dates back to the 19th century. Step inside this beautifully preserved passage and admire its ornate architecture, including its spiral staircase and glass roof. Explore the charming boutiques and artisan shops that line the arcade, and perhaps pick up a unique souvenir to take home.

Place Graslin

From Passage Pommeraye, continue to Place Graslin, a vibrant square known for its elegant architecture and lively atmosphere. Admire the neoclassical facade of the Théâtre Graslin, which dominates the square, and take in the bustling street life. Consider stopping for a coffee or a bite to eat at one of the nearby cafes or restaurants.

Les Machines de L'ile

Finally, conclude your tour with a visit to Les Machines de l'Île, a one-of-a-kind artistic project located on the Île de Nantes. Explore this fantastical world inspired by the works of Jules Verne and Leonardo da Vinci, featuring larger-than-life mechanical creatures and interactive exhibits.
