Located at the very heart of Nantes, this enormous castle appears at first to be nothing more than that, an impressive medieval fortification. As impressive as that is, there are even more pleasures to be found inside. The internal areas have been developed in the Renaissance era to create a beautiful pleasure-house, a place for the dignitaries to relax and have fun in wonderful surroundings. Visitors are able to walk around the ramparts of the castle, enjoying great views of the city.
