Serviced Apartments in Nantes

Found in the north-west of France towards the Bay of Biscay, Nantes is a large city with a strong Breton identity. As well is embracing its cultural past, Nantes has also been recognised as a city of innovation and continues to grow and change with the times. As a sign of this, tourist accommodation in the city has also changed, with among the most popular choices nowadays being Nantes serviced residences.

The city was founded on the banks of the Loire River, just 30 miles from the Atlantic. As with many cities, the river on which it was built has played a large part in its history and a trip to Nantes harbour will present you with a good idea of this. The Loire River branches out into many smaller rivers, and some Nantes city centre (center) apartments are built overlooking these. Boat trips along the river also available most of the year.

With regards to the city's Breton past, Nantes was previously the capital of Brittany and as such still maintains a strong cultural identity, separate to simply being a French city. Various dialects of Breton and Gallo are still spoken by a few people, although obviously French is still the predominant language. Serviced apartments in Nantes will certainly be operating through the medium of French, so don't worry about having to learn anything other than some basic French to get by!

Transport to Nantes and around the city is well-established, with no particular need to hire a car during your stay. Nantes is served by an international airport just five miles out of the city with a regular shuttle service into town. In the city itself and you can easily catch a bus, tram or even water bus in order to get around the city. Either that or you can hail a taxi from outside of your Nantes holiday rental, there are plenty around.

Doing the rounds of the historical buildings, you will find plenty of churches, cathedrals and castles to visit. One of the most striking is the Château des Ducs de Bretagne (Castle of the Dukes of Brittany) which is a series of 15th century buildings accompanied by a large courtyard. Also, consider leaving your Nantes apartment rental for a trip around the many religious buildings in the city, with striking mosques as well as Christian buildings to visit.

Nantes is certainly an interesting town to visit, with an interesting past, and distinct identity.
