Nantes Romantic Hotels

The city is located just two hours away from Paris and is considered the western capital of the country.

The Castle of the Dukes of Brittany has always been considered the main symbol of Nantes. This castle was built in 1466 by the order of Francis II. The city is full of beautiful architectural places of interest, the most famous of which are located on the L'lle Feydeau Street. Here you can see amazingly beautiful white houses that are decorated with tiny balconies with wrought iron railings. The windows of these houses are decorated with unusual masks. The color of the houses is determined by the material of construction - white sandstone. This combination is unusual, and traditionally amazes and delights visitors.

The most famous gallery of Nantes is Passage Pommeraye, a beautiful three-tiered building in the Baroque style, which halls host various exhibitions and other cultural events. The city attracts not only history lovers, but also shopping fans. The central commercial street of Nantes is named Crebillon. The numerous boutiques located on this street feature couture apparel, perfumes by famous European brands and high-end jewelry stores. The most popular shopping center is called the Lafayette Gallery. However, if you need best products, then go to the Talensac market. Here you will find wide choice of vegetables, fruits, and, the most important, fresh seafood.
