VAN allows you to discover works that arouse the curiosity and sensibilities of travellers and Nantes residents alike.
The Voyage à Nantes motto: the city turned upside down by art. Every summer, the VAN invites artists to take over emblematic, historic or unmissable sites in the city, imagining and creating a contemporary work of art. Whether ephemeral or permanent, these works, whether plant-based or interactive, arouse curiosity and sensibility, giving the city that distinctive taste. The urban art trail can be explored on foot or by bike, following a green line marked out on the ground over 18 km long. A 2nd edition of the VAN during the festive season.
