Aparthotels & serviced apartments in Nantes

20 stays · 17 aparthotels and 3 serviced apartments · from €60/night

Aparthotels and serviced apartments are a good fit for Nantes, a city of 327,734 residents (2023 figures quoted by Wikipedia) that rewards slower, longer visits. A kitchen helps if you want to shop at the covered market rather than eat out every night, and extra space suits families and anyone working remotely for a few weeks. Nantes sits on the Loire, with a compact historic centre, an island district of former shipyards and a tram network that links them. Our guide explains what an aparthotel is if you are comparing formats.

Where to stay in Nantes

Bouffay and the castle

  • first-time visitors
  • sightseeing
  • restaurants

Wikivoyage describes Bouffay as an elegant pedestrianised square dating from the 1770s, with outdoor cafes. The Château des ducs de Bretagne is one of the landmarks on the artistic itinerary promoted by Le Voyage à Nantes, and Wikivoyage places Place du Bouffay just north of Île Feydeau, so this is a convenient base for first-time visitors who want to explore on foot.

Graslin and Feydeau

  • shopping
  • culture
  • couples

Graslin is a neoclassical district laid out from 1780 and centred on the Théâtre Graslin, according to Wikivoyage. Feydeau, on a former islet, has 18th-century architecture and a pedestrianised central street with cafes. Le Voyage à Nantes names the Passage Pommeraye among the city's notable places.

Île de Nantes

  • families
  • design
  • long stays

Wikivoyage describes the island as about 5 km long and 1 km wide, with 13 bridges, and Wikipedia says it is divided between former shipyards in the west, an old faubourg in the centre and modern housing in the east. The Machines de l'Île, with its mechanical animals including the Great Elephant, is at the Parc des Chantiers on the island.

Talensac

  • food lovers
  • long stays
  • self-catering

Talensac is home to the Marché de Talensac, a covered hall which Wikivoyage lists as open Tuesday to Sunday mornings. It is a useful neighbourhood for anyone cooking in an apartment, and its coordinates place it north of the Graslin district.

Getting around Nantes

Nantes Atlantique Airport is 8 km southwest of the city, according to Wikivoyage. It lists a shuttle bus to the railway station and city centre that takes 20 to 30 minutes, and bus 38 to Pirmil, where you can change onto the tram network. Fares and timetables change, so check before travelling. At the railway station, Wikivoyage says the north exit (gare nord) is for the city centre and the south exit (gare sud) is for buses.

The local network is run under the Naolib brand. Wikivoyage describes three tram lines, two BusWays, more than 50 daytime bus lines, night buses and Navibus river ferries, and Naolib offers a Tram & Bus app with timetables, routes, disruptions and an interactive map. The centre is compact and walkable, and the Nantes Pass, sold from 24 hours to 7 days, includes 50 free activities according to Le Voyage à Nantes.

Living in Nantes for longer

For a longer stay, the Marché de Talensac is the obvious place for fresh produce, and an apartment with a kitchen makes the most of it. Choose a base near a tram stop if you plan to commute across the city, since Wikivoyage describes a network of trams, BusWays and buses. The Naolib app helps with day-to-day planning, and the AlloNaolib advisory team is available by phone on weekdays and Saturdays.

When to visit Nantes

Wikipedia classes Nantes as having an oceanic climate, with a winter average of 6°C, a summer average of 20°C and annual rainfall of about 820 mm. Wikivoyage describes an Atlantic pattern of mild winters and bright summers with occasional showers, so pack a light waterproof whatever the month.

Because Le Voyage à Nantes describes its artistic itinerary as running all year long, there is no off-season for sights. The Machines de l'Île is listed by Wikivoyage as open from February to December, so winter visitors should check opening dates. Late spring and early autumn suit city walking best.

The city's calling cards are the Château des ducs de Bretagne, which houses the Musée d'histoire de Nantes, the Passage Pommeraye and the Machines de l'Île. Le Voyage à Nantes describes an artistic itinerary running through the city all year long. Nantes is one of several French destinations on our site, so you can also browse France or compare with Paris.
