Two-day city break to Nantes from Paris by train

Illustration of Nantes

Railtour Suisse operates a short city break centred on Nantes, the historic capital of Brittany in northwestern France. This two-day, one-night trip begins with a two-hour 2nd class train journey from Paris. You will stay one night in a four-star hotel in Nantes itself. The package spotlights the city's medieval heritage, including the Dukes' Castle, as well as modern attractions like Les Machines de l'Île, a kinetic sculpture installation featuring giant mechanical animals. A boat trip takes you across the Loire estuary to Trentemoult, a charming waterside village. For those who wish to explore further, optional cycling routes follow the Loire or wind through the Nantes vineyards. This itinerary suits first-time rail travellers seeking a gentle introduction to train travel, couples looking for a romantic city escape, and history enthusiasts interested in Brittany's ducal past.
