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.

Hi, My name is Eve, I’m 31 years old. I’m passionate about board games and I’ve been living in Nantes for 5 years. Before that, I lived in Germany (a language I’d be happy to practice again!). I bought my apartment a few months ago, and I’d like to occasionally host people until a friend moves into the second bedroom in September. I have a cat named Ada — like the inventor of the programming language — and… surprise… I work in that field as an ERP integrator. I love my job because it's all about understanding systems, like with board games ;) #INTP Looking forward to meeting you :)
