Trentemoult
A colourful old fishing village on the south bank of the Loire, reached by a public ferry; its lanes of painted houses and riverside restaurants feel like a holiday.
Trentemoult lies on the south bank of the Loire, in the town of Rezé. Once a village of sailors and fishermen who worked the Cape Horn route, its houses are painted in bright yellow, blue and pink, and lanes wind between flower pots and plants. It has earned the nickname 'Little Burano of Nantes'. Several restaurants and bar terraces line the riverbank. From the quay near the Hangar à Bananes, the Navibus ferry takes about 10 minutes to get there. A regular public transport ticket is valid, making it ideal for a relaxed half day.
