Nantes Pass

Additional Information & Description

The Nantes Pass brings together a selection of 50 tours and attractions across the city’s art, culture and heritage. With options for 1, 2, 3 or 7 days, it gives a short visit or a longer stay a broad range of things to see and do, rather than focusing on a single attraction.

Mechanical animals, city history and Jules Verne

At the Machines de l’Ile, visit the Galerie des Machines to see its mechanical animals. The Château des Ducs de Bretagne turns the focus to Nantes’ history, while the Jules Verne Museum adds another distinct stop to the cultural itinerary. These three visits show the range covered by the pass: mechanical creations, a historic château and a museum dedicated to the writer. They give you concrete starting points for shaping your time around the subjects that interest you.

Old districts, river cruises and trips further afield

The pass also includes a guided tour of the old districts, a train ride, and cruises on both the Erdre and the Loire. The guided walk puts the city’s older neighbourhoods into your itinerary, while the cruises take part of the visit onto the water. Beyond the city, the pass extends the scope of your stay to Nantes’ vineyards and the Atlantic Coast, adding excursions to the urban visits.

Public transport and an airport roundtrip

Unlimited public transport access covers buses, tramways, the busway and the river shuttle. This transport provision supports travel around Nantes alongside the attraction visits, without restricting you to one mode. One roundtrip on the airport shuttle is included too. That is a separate allowance from the unlimited city transport, covering the journey from the airport and the return trip.

Extra benefits and an attraction guide

A paper guide provides attraction information to help you plan the visits covered by your chosen pass duration. Discounted rates and additional advantages are also included, along with a free drink at partner businesses. These benefits sit alongside the sightseeing programme, adding something beyond admission to the selected attractions.
