Nantes Citytour Hotels

Nantes is the capital of the Loire-Atlantique department as well as the Pays de la Loire region. The Loire estuary has combined efforts to turn Nantes-Atlantique into the great metropolis of the western France. A major redevelopment scheme made Nantes the second most important city in France for the service industry. Here you can find many organizations of this sector (finance, administration, transportation, medicine, trade, etc). The Loire estuary itself is home to numerous engineering firms, training and research centers, and companies working in food and timber industries.

Nantes, often called 'the Venice of the West', is a popular tourist destination. The Time Europe magazine called it the most pleasant town in Europe. Its innovative cultural events will fill you with admiration and excitement! They include the Carnival in April; Estuaire, a contemporary art exhibition that takes place every 2 years; the Summer Festival where musicians from different parts of the world come to perform; and the Erdre program, which combines water sports and music.
