Description
Welcome to Nantes!Â
Based on a first experience as a guide during his studies, Antoine decided to start Free Walking Tour Nantes during summer 2018. His passion for the city and history of Nantes motivated him to patiently gather and select information and historical anecdotes, elaborate the best circuit and give as many tours as possible to make it even better through 2019. He is now proud to give tours that are highly appreciated as proven by the comments given by visitors on various travel websites such as TripAdvisor.Â
The Free Tour of Nantes starts at Les Ducs de Bretagne castle, follows the - visible and disappeared - medieval walls, ventures through the neighborhoods built later in the XVIII and XIX centuries and finally ends by the Loire river to admire the famous great mechanical elephant of the Machines de l'Ile.Â

FAQ
Should I book to join the tour?
Please do so following the link provided. As it is just me organizing and giving the tours, I'd rather limit the amount of attendees so that both you and I have a good time and can chat more easily.
How long does the tour last?
At the beginning I kept saying two hours, but I have so many things to say and show that I rarely make it in less than 2:15 hours now! (For about 3.5 km.) Please bring clothes comfortable enough to walk around, and prepare for Nantes' capricious weather... I'm sorry to tell that it is a difficult circuit for disabled people (stairs, paved roads etc). Feel free to contact me so we can plan a specific one, and do it at our own pace!
In which languages?
English and Spanish! For tours in French, I usually redirect people to the tourism office who runs excellent tours. Feel free to contact me if you have specific needs.
