Presentation

At the heart of the medieval district of Nantes, discover the Château des Ducs de Bretagne and Museum of History.
This huge structure made of granite and white tufa is the last Castle on the Loire before you reach the ocean. The remarkable 15th and 17th century buildings will transport you on a magical journey back in time. Built by François II, the last duke of Brittany, and continued by his daughter Anne of Brittany, duchess and twice Queen of France, the fortress features a residential palace with elegant facades and Renaissance loggias. Thanks to a large-scale restoration project, the monument, which houses a history museum, is now fully open to the public. The courtyard, the ramparts, the moat gardens and the nighttime illumination are unforgettable sites.
