The scale of this building and its importance in history are amazing. There is plenty of room to wander around. I would also recommend visiting the museum..........it is very worth whild.

The interior museum was closed the day I was there, but the walk around the moat, around the ramparts and through the courtyard is lovely. There is a small cafe tucked in one corner...nice for a coffee. And the botanical gardens, for those interested, are just a couple blocks further, just past the train station.

So informative and covered all periods of history. Atmospheric cafe up in the tower. Could have spent all day here

The Museum is an essential guide to understanding the history of Nantes. It is one of the finest city museums-in conception,lay-out, and thematic presentation. It is not to be missed. Bring good walking shoes, the lighting is also dim in the first segment. There are multi-language audio tour guides available at a very reasonable price. Each room has a multi-language,large... More
