Visiting solo - Le musée d’histoire de Nantes
Come discover Anne of Brittany’s castle
In the heart of Nantes’ medieval district, discover the Château des ducs de Bretagne: an emblematic landmark that was built in the late 15th century by Duke François II and his daughter, Anne of Brittany.
Several itineraries are available to discover this monument and its resolutely contemporary history museum. The sections on the Slave Trade, slavery, and the two World Wars have become international references. Come discover the remarkable architecture and landmark events that make up the history of both the city and the castle: the Edict of Nantes, industrialization (LU, BN), and shipbuilding, to name just a few.
