Nantes is a city of more than 300,000 people in the western part of France with a history dating back more than 2,000 years. It is home to a major river port on the Loire River. The city is also known as one of the greenest urban centers in France, and is also famous for its art, both displayed in museums and in public spaces. Worth a visit here is the Museum of Art, with collections of paintings starting from the 13th century, as well as the Museum of Natural History, whose main attraction is an 18-meter whale skeleton and a vivarium with counted species of reptiles. Also awaiting tourists is the Castle of the Dukes of Brittany with exhibitions on the history of the city and the Brittany region. It is worth knowing that Jules Verne was born in Nantes. In his honor, an unusual machine park was built here, where you can, among other things, ride a huge walking mechanical elephant.
Nantes has ring roads and is close to important highways leading to Paris and Bordeaux, among others. Nantes airport is 8 kilometers from the city center. However, we will not reach it by direct flights from Poland. A better option to get to the former capital of Brittany is a flight to Paris combined with a TGV train trip or a direct bus ride from Poland to Nantes. Buses Sindbad stop at the SNCF Sud station, near the Mercure hotel. From there, the city's most important sights can be reached by covering a distance of just over a kilometer.
There are buses and high-speed streetcars that run around the city, with routes along the most important sights and attractions. There is also the Navibus, a boat that sails across the Loire to the fishing village of Trentemoult, as well as numerous bicycle stations for rent (Bicloo) and more than 470 kilometers of paths for cyclists.
