Local knowledge for Nantes

Where to stay

Bouffay, the old medieval quarter around Place du Pilori, puts you within walking distance of most sights and has cheap eats on the side streets off Rue de la Juiverie. If Bouffay is full, hostels near Gare de Nantes work well too, since tram line 1 gets you across the city in under 15 minutes.

Getting around

  • Marché de Talensac runs Tuesday through Sunday mornings near Place du Bon Pasteur. Lunch there costs under five euros. Eating in Bouffay near the tourist spots runs two or three times that.
  • The tram network covers nearly everything, including the ride out to the Machines de l'Île on Île de Nantes. Buy a carnet of 10 tickets at any stop machine instead of single rides to save about 30 percent.
  • Le Voyage à Nantes paint-on-the-ground art trail is free to follow on your own. Skip the ticketed venues if you are on a tight budget and just walk the route, which runs from the Château des Ducs de Bretagne west through the city.

When to go

Hostels are cheapest from November through March, and July fills up fast because Le Voyage à Nantes draws visitors from across France for most of the month.
