Driving in Nantes

Traffic Rules

Remember, unlike in the UK, in France you drive on the right-hand side of the road. French law requires all occupants of a car to wear a seatbelt, with heavy fines in place for non-compliance.

Speed Limits

In built-up areas the speed limit is typically 50 km/h, but do keep an eye out for signage indicating otherwise. On motorways, the limit is 130 km/h in dry weather, and 110 km/h in rain or snow.

Getting Around and Parking

While Nantes city centre is quite walkable, a rental car opens up a plethora of opportunities to explore further afield. Parking in Nantes is relatively easy, with numerous car parks and street parking available. Just look out for the 'Payant' sign which indicates paid parking.

Things to See and Do

Château des ducs de Bretagne

The castle of the dukes of Brittany is a must-visit, home to a museum exhibiting over 850 historic artefacts.

Jardin des Plantes

This magnificent botanical garden offers 7 hectares of greenery to explore, complete with beautiful sculptures and exotic plant species.

Nantes Airport and Stations

Nantes Atlantique Airport is just 20 minutes from the city centre and offers a variety of car rental options. The city’s main train station - Gare de Nantes, also has numerous car hire companies on-site.

Nantes' Climate and the Ideal Time to Visit

Nantes enjoys a temperate oceanic climate. Its mild nature makes it ideal for travel at any time of the year, though the most popular period spans from June to August.

Seasonal Events

Don’t miss 'Le Voyage à Nantes' in summer – a two-month-long city-wide art and culture event.

Currency

France uses the Euro (€). Most shops, cafes and restaurants accept credit cards, but it's always a good idea to have some cash on hand, especially for smaller purchases.

Conclusion

With its captivating mix of history, culture, and modern creativity, Nantes promises an unforgettable adventure. Whether you plan to stay in the city or venture into the idyllic French countryside, a rental car is your key to flexibility and freedom. Enjoy your journey!
