It is home to the world-renowned Chateau des Ducs de Breton, which once was home to the famed Duc de Breton. The stunning Chateau, which is almost seven miles long and four miles wide, was destroyed in WWII. The town has been revived as a major farming and tourist destination, and is a popular destination for hiking and canoeing. The renovated castle, which serves as a history museum, is a great place to visit, and you may want to plan your vacations around it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the best things to do in Nantes is to take a river tour. Nantes is a beautiful city, with a lush, green landscape full of many different types of plants. Some of the most popular plants are called blueberries, raspberries, strawberries, blackberries, peonies, honeysuckle and elderberries. In addition, there are many orchids, daisies, poppies, blue violets and irises. The main attractions in Nantes include the Musee Nanteu de l&#8217;Art Brut, the Chateau des Beaux-Arts, and the Nantes Garden. These buildings combined with the beautiful garden are what make Nantes such a wonderful and charming place to go.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you want to see some of Nantes&#8217;s historic sites, you can start out your trip with the Mus\u00e9e Nanteu de l&#8217;Art Brut. Here, you can find an enormous amount of art, including works from Monet, Claude Monet, Gustave Caillebotte, Paul Gauguin, Arnoldoit Coquet and much more. During the summer, the Chateau des Beaux-Arts will open up its doors for the public once again so people can experience all of the beauty that Nantes has to offer during summer. While you&#8217;re here, you should also check out the Dauphine Barracks and the Chateau du Rousses. These two historical sites are a must see when you&#8217;re in Nantes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Another popular attraction in Nantes is the Pays de la Loire. This island is located about halfway between Nantes and Cannes. This is a great destination if you like water. The Loire River runs through the entire island which gives it a very natural feeling, making it one of the best things to do in Nantes. If you&#8217;ve never been to Nantes before, this is a great way to discover the island and see the rich history that made it what it is today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the most famous things to do in Nantes is to visit the Chateau des Olivers. Built in the eighteenth century, this is a palace that has been recreated as an elegant tourist destination. This is where you&#8217;ll get to experience the beauty of Nantes with all its modern conveniences. You&#8217;ll discover the perfect spot for seeing the town and the area by taking the train from the central train station in Nantes. From the Chateau des Olivers you can take the train south to Cannes and then walk the rest of the way to Nantes via the beach.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The next best things to do in Nantes are the many events that take place year round.
