An island of courtyards, streets, quays, sandbanks and leaning buildings with magnificent mascaron facades.

Nantes was known as the Venice of the West. And with good reason: the Loire embraced and flowed through the city, giving rise to evocative names such as Ile Feydeau. Right in the heart of the city, this former Loire island was developed as early as 1720, then incorporated into Nantes when the river was filled in in the 1930s. Today, between cours F.-Roosevelt and rue Félix-Eboué, boulevard Jean-Philippot and cours Commandant-d'Estienne-d'Orves, it's pleasant to stroll along the old cobblestones of today's rue Kervégan or along its "quays", imagining the Loire flowing past.

Le souvenir d'une île

En plein coeur de Nantes se trouve une île qui n'est plus entourée d'eau, mais de bitume ! En effet, tout au long du XVIIè s., cette ancienne île située en face de la vieille ville et du château, fut l'objet d'un chantier pour ériger le 1er lotissement créé à Nantes, destiné à donner un nouvel élan architectural et marchand à la cité. Venez admirer les alignements spectaculaires des façades et découvrir leurs mascarons !
