Nantes (Pays de la Loire)

Nantes - its region and its real estate market

Located in the Pays de la Loire region of France, in the Loire-Atlantique département, Nantes is an effervescent and daring metropolis. Long known as the “Venice of the West”, the city boasts a privileged location, an attractive living environment and a wealth of heritage and cultural treasures.

In the Middle Ages, Nantes was the city of the Dukes and the nerve center of the Duchy of Brittany, making it a leading political, economic and commercial center. Over the course of the 20th and 21st centuries, the city revolutionized itself, breathing new life into its districts and erecting innovative hubs, while protecting its historic heart, which became a protected area in 1972. Today, Nantes, with its many assets, is one of France's most attractive metropolises.

A city of art and history, Nantes is brimming with remarkable buildings that bear witness to its historical heritage. Must-sees include the Château des Ducs de Bretagne, Saint-Pierre et Saint-Paul Cathedral, Passage Pommeraye, private mansions, Place Royale fountain, Cours Cambronne and more. Illustrious figures such as Jules Verne, Aristide Briand and André Breton have lived in the city and left their mark on its history.

Nantes boasts a wide range of walking areas, including the Jardin des Plantes, Parc de Procé and Jardin Extraordinaire, not to mention the banks of the Loire and Erdre rivers. Not far away, other natural areas are available, such as Lac de Grand-Lieu, the Loire estuary, the Brière marshes, and the Atlantic Ocean is only 45 minutes away by car. Nantes also boasts a vibrant artistic and cultural scene, with creative venues such as the Machines de l'île, the Lieu Unique and the Hangar à bananes. The year is punctuated by major events such as La Folle Journée, Le Voyage à Nantes and Les Rendez-vous de l'Erdre.

 

The region and its real estate market

In Nantes, the hypercentre is the beating heart of the luxury real estate market. The districts of Saint-Félix, Saint-Anne, Canclaux and Saint-Donatien are also attracting buyers' attention. Other sought-after areas include the suburbs of Nantes and those bordering the Atlantic Ocean.
