The students in Nantes keep the city young and vibrant and add to the culture and energy of the city.

Nantes is built on the largest island in the Loire Valley’s château country. The town welcomes travellers by boat, train and plane and it is one of France’s major seaport capitals. Visitors booking flights to Nantes enter a town oozing with knowledge thanks to its thousands of eager students and high-tech industries that provide economic stability for Nantes.

Getting around Nantes

To travel smartly within Nantes, buy yourself a “Pass Nantes,” which works on all public transport, including buses and trams. If you’re there for longer than a week, it’s probably worth buying a monthly tram pass. Validate your passes on the bus to avoid a fine.

You can also rent a bike from Velocampus, a local rental company, which includes a tyre pump, maps for trails, and tickets to place on illegally parked cars. And if that isn’t enough, there are also river ferries and taxis to help you get around.

Getting from the Airport to the City

When you land on your flight to Nantes the Nantes Atlantique Airport (NTE) is located 5 miles (8 km) southwest of the city and you’ll find a multitude of transport options. The city has a TGV station and the longest tram network in the country. An airport shuttle timed to accommodate incoming flights will drop you off at Gare SNCF Sud, the largest train station in the city and the best place to hop aboard a train. It’s only a two hour ride to Paris and four hours to Lyon.
