Brittany's capital, Nantes, is an arty city on the banks of the Loire. It was founded by Celts around 70 BC and has played an important role in France's history ever since, as an important port, a 19th century industrial hub, and as the birthplace of the world's first public transport service, the omnibus, in 1826.

Recommendations

  • Visit Nantes' impressive cathedral, and some of its smaller churches - the neo-Gothic Basilique Saint-Nicolas and the Église Sainte-Croix are both worth a visit.
  • At your own pace, walk the 'green line', a self-guided tour through Nantes marked out by a painted green line. Originally created as part of a local arts festival, the green line will take you past the must-sees of the town, from historic castles to contemporary art installations.
  • Explore the Château des Ducs de Bretagne, the large castle in the heart of the city gives an insightful introduction to the region.
