Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

- StephenCrossDublin, Ireland31,546 contributionsThe castle of the dukes is in the heart of Nantes and it is a remarkable castle. Moat and all!

- Curt HChicago, IL361 contributionsThe Passage Pommeraye is an interesting shopping venue. The architecture of the structure is beautiful and there are unique boutiques where you can find that one of a kind item that is not in the mainstream of fashion. It's a relaxing less crowded place to shop or just browse while in Paris.Written 7 July 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Steve_Grant1Oldham, UK1,841 contributionsThe gardens are worth a visit as you walk along the river. The Japanese theme is good and pleasant to view. Tip, there are public toilets available which is always
Handy when out walking.Written 20 September 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews. - GranZorroZug, Switzerland1,566 contributionsFor some years now, it's no longer just "Nantes Tourist Office" but "Le Voyage a Nantes". Their 3 or 4 day tourist pass is a great value, offering a whole gamut of activities both in town, on the water, and in the surroundings.
The staff at the office near the Ducal Castle is not only very friendly but also trained to offer good service. Nantes has in my opinion become a not to be missed place when visiting France.Written 14 September 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews. - PaulNantes, France13 contributionsAfter a quick ferry ride we got to walk among these beautiful buildings with many photo opportunities.
If you are willing to leave the main road and explore the twisting & narrow side streets , you will see many interesting things most people miss here.
During the off-season there are not many places to eat that are open so plan accordingly. We had a good meal at the Bistro near the harbor, though not all the menu items were available due to seasonal variations.
Overall an enjoyable & relaxing stroll through some interesting areas.Written 19 February 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

I really enjoyed the galleries in the back with historic oil paintings, including some monumental works. Near the Jardin des Plantes and the train station, short walk from the Chateau.Written 7 May 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Grainne BCork, Ireland40 contributionsBeautiful building, fabulous collections - mostly in French with a little English - the scientist in me really enjoyed it and so did the others as adults, not sure how successful a visit it would be with small children- the temp exhibition also very good with lots for kids to do
I’m on crutches and use a mobility scooter - staff were very helpful providing lift access, access was free for me and my companion and under 18s is €2 - so great value
Some of the exhibitions are at counter level and can’t be viewed from a chair but the staff provide walkers with built in seat for those who need it

Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews. - Isobel CGirvan, UK31 contributionsWe found the tourist office extremely helpful and knowledgeable.We had already bought the pass in the uk.They offered us alternative travels as the Loire cruise in September was only available on Sunday our day of travel.They organised train tickets at no extra cost to us and we had a very good day in St Nazarre using our pass to visit the submarine bases and the museum to the great French liners. We couldn’t fault them on any level and would thoroughly recommend the pass and the service of the tourist officeWritten 7 October 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
