Your experience
Stop 1
Here you see a beautiful bronze statue of a naked woman, wielding a sword towards the sky, her face turned towards the light. You only have to look at it to feel the explosion of mixed feelings that our ancestors had to live with the declaration of the armistice in 1918.
Stop 2
You arrive in front of Marshal Foch Square named in honor of the Commander-in-Chief of the Allied Forces, at the end of the First World War.
Stop 3
As you approach the back of the cathedral, you come across the best preserved vestige of the medieval era of Nantes. This is the Porte Saint-Pierre, which allowed to pass the city walls.
Stop 4
You are now in St. Peter's Square facing St. Peter and St. Paul Cathedral. About the size of Notre-Dame de Paris, it was also affected by a major fire in 2020
Stop 5
In the heart of medieval Nantes, the castle of the Dukes of Brittany welcomes you in the part of the ramparts, the courtyard and the moat for a jump in time and through history.
Stop 6
From the castle walls, you can see, on the quay in front of you, the beautiful tower with a blue and gold dome, belonging to the former factory of the famous biscuit factory Lefèvre-Utile, I named “LU” and its timeless little butter.
Stop 7
You now enter the Rue de la Juiverie, which, as its name suggests, was the area where the Jewish community of Nantes lived in the Middle Ages. A Jewish presence has been attested since Roman times.
Stop 8
You arrive at the forecourt of the beautiful Sainte-Croix church, elegantly set in the heart of the Bouffay district, of which it has been the parish since the 12th century. Its harmonious white façade is Jesuit style, an artistic trend born of the Catholic Counter-Reformation, and close to Baroque art.
Stop 9
The Bouffay district is the Nantes life par excellence! And it’s not a long time since it’s here that the Namnetes created their Celtic city. It is known that the village had a beautiful bronze industry and that tools, wheat, hemp were exchanged there for amphorae, carpets, oils and jewelry.
Stop 10
Let’s follow this green line for a moment that you certainly saw several times during your visit. Nantes has so many nuggets to discover that the municipality has made your life easier, by drawing a 12 km green line on the ground, traveling through every corner of the city in search of its heritage old as new.
Stop 11
You cross Kervégan Street, the main artery of the old island of Feydeau. It was at the base separated from the city of Nantes by branches of the Loire.
Stop 12
You're here in the Trade Square. It is the meeting point par excellence, due to its proximity to transport and the main streets of the city.
