Le Voyage a Nantes
About
The Le Voyage à Nantes green line is a city‑wide, free walking route that invites visitors to discover Nantes through a series of contemporary art installations, historic monuments, and cultural landmarks. Traced across the city’s streets in a painted green line, every step leads to a new ‘stop’—from the iconic Machines de l’Île to the Château des Ducs de Bretagne, to charming gardens and public art pieces. The route showcases the city’s artistic heritage, modern architecture and playful urban installations, making it a perfect outing for families, art lovers and history enthusiasts alike. The walking experience typically takes around three to four hours, offering ample time to soak up the vibrant atmosphere, explore side streets, and enjoy outdoor cafés or parks. While the route is open all year round, spring to early autumn brings milder weather and fewer crowds. Visitors may also take advantage of nearby cultural passes, such as the Pass Nantes or the Pass du Voyage, which grant unlimited access to museums and guided tours in the surrounding area.
