château des ducs de bretagne


The Château des ducs de Bretagne, nestled in the heart of Nantes, stands as a grand reminder of the city's medieval past. Constructed at the end of the 15th century, it was the residence of the last Duke of Brittany, François II, and his daughter, Anne of Brittany, who became twice Queen of France. Today, this historical monument, which has been meticulously restored, houses the Nantes History Museum, offering visitors a journey through the city's rich heritage. With its elegant Renaissance-style loggias and accessible ramparts, the château invites exploration and reflection on the layers of history it has witnessed.
