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.

Globally, during the day Nantes is mostly safe. A few areas should be avoided but cleary there is nothing for tourist there so there is few chances that you end up there. The rest of the city is really nice, even for a lonely women. But during the night, Nantes become really no safe if you are alone as a women, and that is everywhere ! In the center or not... so be aware of the dark and avoid being alone in the night
Posted: February 26, 2026Be 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.
