Nantes & the neighbourhood

A city to explore from its very centre.

01

City centre

All of Nantes begins just a few steps away.

Le Turenne occupies an exceptionally central address among the stone façades and former 18th-century shipowners’ town houses that give central Nantes its character.

Place Royale is a 2-minute walk away and Place Graslin 7 minutes. Shops, restaurants, museums and the tram network make it easy to spend most days without a car.

Step out, look around, come home

An address that connects heritage with everyday city life.

Passage Pommeraye, Graslin, Bouffay, central restaurants and Nantes’ major sights follow naturally on foot. Then the apartment becomes a calm, spacious base again.

A few ideas

Choose your pace.

For architecture

Start with the 18th-century façades of Île Feydeau, then continue to Passage Pommeraye and the classical perspectives of Place Graslin.

For a first visit

Connect Bouffay, the Château des ducs de Bretagne and the water mirror before returning through the pedestrian centre.

For fresh air

Cross the Loire towards Les Machines de l’île and the yellow crane, or head to the Jardin des Plantes for a greener pause.

For local life

Talensac market, independent shops and the terraces around Graslin offer a more everyday glimpse of Nantes.
