Nantes, one of the most attractive cities in France.

Nantes, although only the sixth city in France in terms of population, is ranked among the most attractive cities in France and has received several European-level distinctions.

Indeed, in recent years, the historical capital of Brittany has been awarded several prizes at European level, highlighting the quality of life of its inhabitants:

– In 2004, the Times magazine elected Nantes as “the most pleasant city to live in in Europe”.

– In 2013, Nantes received the title of European Green Capital from the_ European Commission_, for its efforts in reducing CO2 emissions, its high-quality transport and urban renewal, as well as its biodiversity with 3,366 hectares of green spaces and more than 2,000 zones ensuring environmental protection.

Nantes is also one of the favourite cities of the French. According to a study by the Association for Executive Employment (Apec), Nantes, alongside Lyon, is the metropolitan area where workers are the happiest in France, i.e. 90% of the working population of Nantes. On a professional level, according to the same study, the city of Nantes is among the six cities with the most executives in France. Also, according to L’Express, it is also the most pleasant city to live in for families.

Beyond the environmental and professional dimension, Nantes is also appreciated for its cultural richness, with its many historical monuments such as the Château des Ducs de Bretagne, the Passage Pommeraye gallery or the La Cigale restaurant and its cultural events such as those of the Royal de Luxe festival and the international classical music festival La Folle Journée.

Also, Nantes is a city appreciated for the unique quality of its public transport: the possibility of travelling by tram, bus and boat (yes indeed, because a large part of the city is an island!) throughout the agglomeration for a single transport fare.

The city is also very well served: the motorway leads directly to Paris as well as to the South-West regions and the expressway leads to all the North-West regions. Naoned (Nantes in Breton) is a city close to many seaside towns such as Guérande, Pornic, La-Baule and Les Sables-d’Olonne in Vendée, allowing its inhabitants to retreat for the weekend and enjoy the coastline.
