Château des ducs de Bretagne
In the heart of Nantes' medieval quarter, the Château des Ducs de Bretagne is the last great castle on the banks of the Loire before the ocean. Built between the 15th and 18th centuries, this majestic Breton monument bears witness to the city's heyday and its strategic role through the centuries.
Behind its ramparts, the Ducal Palace is home to the Musée d'histoire de Nantes, whose contemporary scenography unfolds over 32 rooms. More than 850 objects from the collection, combined with a host of multimedia features, invite visitors to immerse themselves in the unique history of Nantes: a port and industrial city, open to the world and marked by profound change.
The tour can be adapted to your own pace. Depending on the time available and your preferences, you can opt for a self-guided discovery tour, or take a guided tour in the company of a mediator, to delve deeper into the major themes and key periods in Nantes' history.
The château's outdoor spaces are also a walk in themselves. The courtyard and ramparts are freely accessible all year round, offering fine views over the city. The moat garden, also open to the public, offers a green interlude at the foot of the walls, ideal for a break between two visits.
A true gateway to the history of Nantes and its surrounding area, the Château des Ducs de Bretagne is a must-see on any cultural getaway. It's the perfect complement to a stay in Pornichet, offering an in-depth exploration of the region's heritage, less than two hours from the coast.
