It's a hard life being a tourist... Having already discovered the Château des Ducs de Bretagne, the Machines de l'Île, the Saint-Pierre-et-Saint-Paul cathedral, the Passage Pommeraye, the Lieu Unique and even the little fishing village of Trentemoult, Nantes still has other delights in store, this time some well-hidden ones! Secret dens, protected havens of nature and unusual places that even the locals often don't know about.
Fancy having a look around this sports hall that occupies the magical setting of an old-style department store? What about this amazing bar that houses a Nantes boules pitch open to all? Or this terrace hidden from the sight of passers-by, raised up in front of the Basilique Saint-Nicolas? Take a little stroll in images through the streets of this Loire city to explore these amazing finds.
