Nantes scavenger hunt and city tour

Spirited and innovative, this artsy city on the banks of the Loire has a history of reinventing itself. It was founded by Celts around 70 BC and in AD 937 it joined the duchy of Brittany. Although it is now the administrative centre of the Pays-de-la-Loire, Nantes was the capital of Brittany for hundreds of years. Nantes reveals its historical, architectural and artistic heritage through a public collection of more than 100 artworks… Nantes both surprises and enchants visitors, where the vegetal rubs shoulders with the urban, art excites the imagination, and paths for pedestrians and cyclists all lead to lively places throughout town.
