GOOD TIP: the "Le voyage à Nantes" tourist office is just opposite the château, and can sign you up for tours of the city.

GOOD PLACE DESSERT/GO TASTE: Visiting Nantes without stopping by La Fraiseraie ice cream parlour would be an insult! Treat yourself to a strawberry vanilla ice cream in a cone or jar! A true benchmark in Loire Atlantique, as the strawberries come directly from Pornic and are excellent!
