Located in the centre of Nantes, this stylish apartment is an idyllic base for a family or group of friends seeking a cultural break in a beautiful city. Peruse the shops and restaurants along Rue Maréchal Joffre, while being a short walk from the Musée d'Arts de Nantes, the Botanical Garden, and the Château des ducs de Bretagne.

Stepping inside, the apartment has a Parisian feel running through it, with traditional wooden floorboards, ornate ceiling mouldings, and wrought-iron Juliet balconies. We love how your host has transformed the home with a modern aesthetic – from the marble fireplaces to the vibrant artworks, stylish furnishings and curated houseplants – it's the perfect open-plan space to return to after a day of exploring.

There's a desk space for those working from home, while the bedrooms are rustic and cosy, ensuring a restful night's sleep. Start your day with freshly-brewed coffee and a croissant around the elegant dining table as you plan the day’s itinerary, then step out to get going right away.
