Nantes city guide: sightseeings and touristic places
Nantes is a charming town in western France situated on the banks of the Loire River, in 50 km from the Atlantic Ocean. Due to the good location, Nantes was formerly a large commercial port. It grew rich on the trade with the West Indies and Africa. Nowadays maritime and naval activity has moved downstream, mainly to the area around Saint-Nazaire. However, Nantes still remains a port of call for cruise liners.
