Where to stay in Euronantes
Where visitors usually base themselves, and why.
Euronantes was drawn with upper-end hotels in its programme, so the beds here are business beds first. The Gare quarter puts you next to the gare de Nantes and the canal Saint-Félix, which suits anyone arriving by train and content to walk to the Château des ducs de Bretagne for sightseeing. Across the water, the Tripode quarter trades that for the île de Nantes and its river frontage.
Malakoff is quieter. No part of this is an old-town stay.

About Euronantes
What are the main landmarks in Euronantes?
Euronantes is a working quarter rather than a monument district, and its set pieces are borrowed from the streets around it. Stade Marcel Saupin sits on the Loire quay at the Malakoff edge, and Tour LU rises beside the canal Saint-Félix. The Château des ducs de Bretagne is a walk from the gare de Nantes.
On the île de Nantes, the Palais des Sports de Beaulieu shares the island with the Carrousel des mondes marins turning at its western tip. Musée Dobrée belongs to older Nantes.
What is the history of Euronantes?
Euronantes is a quarter built to a plan, not an inherited one, and building is still going on. The scheme gives Nantes a business district of European scale, and housing, shops and upper-end hotels already stand in it; flats have been handed over since December 2008. The Gare part took the ground around the canal Saint-Félix, beside the gare de Nantes and the older quartier de Malakoff.
Its Tripode part went across to the île de Nantes. The Loire runs between them.
Where is Euronantes?
Euronantes straddles the Loire in Nantes, one half around the canal Saint-Félix by the station and the other on the île de Nantes.
