The map
About this Nantes map poster
Nantes lies on the Loire River, about 50 kilometres from the Atlantic, at the point where the Erdre and the Sèvre Nantaise join the main river. On a map the city is organised around these waterways, with islands, bridges and quays shaping the central districts.
In the twentieth century several arms of the Loire and Erdre were filled in, creating wide boulevards where water once flowed. The Île de Nantes, a large island in the river, has become a redevelopment area with parks and cultural sites, including the mechanical animals of Les Machines de l'île.
A Nantes map poster shows the historic centre around the Château des ducs de Bretagne, the curving Erdre to the north and the wide Loire to the south. Nantes is also the birthplace of Jules Verne, whose imagination is reflected in the city's museums and in the playful machines on the island.
