Safety is not what Nantes gives as I heard but I never felt in danger. In the other hand Nate’s is very popular for the art and cultural event. Nantes had also an airport that makes your travel life easier.
Posted: October 18, 2024I love nantes! It's great for 2-3 days visit. The natural history museum is a must do, as well as walking the "green line" which takes you all around the city. A lot of the activities are pretty cheap or free (museums or walking around). You can visit Trentemoult within Nantes, beautiful buildings and quiet atmosphere. Nantes is not the cheapest, but you can definitely find good deals. I can't speak on accomodation as I was staying with a friend.

Be careful when going out at night, especially if you are alone. Prefer going out during the day. I have never had any problems personally, but some neighborhoods can feel unsafe. It is better to be accompanied.

I don't really feel safe in Nantes. During the day, I don't really have any problems, apart from street harassment in certain areas such as Commerce. However, at night, you have to be very careful. Many neighborhoods are dangerous, particularly Hangar à bananes, which is one of the places where you can party at night.

It really depends on where you go, I personally never felt in danger, even alone in the dark because i take ways I know well. But there are some places that are more dangerous or at least scarier at night like the city center where there is a lot of drug dealing.
Posted: August 21, 2025Nantes is not a very safe city. I recommend you to avoid some places in Nantes during the night. For example in the center of the town the place named "commerce" could be dangerous or the neighborhood near the train station.

En journée, la ville est sûre. Il faut faire attention à ses affaires dans les transports. La nuit ou le soir, la sécurité est problématique un peu partout et particulièrement dans le centre. Il est fortement déconseillé de se promener seul ou en ayant bu, pour un homme comme pour une femme. During the day, the city is safe. You have to be careful with your belongings in transport. At night or in the evening, security is problematic almost everywhere and particularly in the center. It is strongly discouraged to walk alone or while having drunk, for a man as well as for a woman.

Hello! My name is Alison and I am from the US but I’ve been living in France for the last 10 years. I love to hike and backpack and explore new places. I used to do couchsurfing when at first launched, and it was really cool, but now it seems quite a bit like a dating site. I’m thrilled to find this application because I know that there are a lot of people that like to facilitate and help others travel, like myself, and this is a great way to feel confident accepting kindnesses (without the fear of ulterior motives;). I have also done a fair bit of housesitting with TrustedHousesitters. Anyways, I’m super thrilled to find this community and to learn from other girls that are also out there kicking @ss. 💪🏻🫶🏻
