Explore Nantes live with a local

Sessions run live, not as a recording: you join at a time in your own time zone, and the guide follows whatever you want to see or ask about. Bouffay is worth asking about: the medieval old town, narrow streets by day and the busiest bars by night.

Every date has a minimum group size: if it does not fill up, it is cancelled and you are refunded in full automatically. Small groups, real answers, no script.

  • Château des Ducs de Bretagne A moated castle in the city centre where the Edict of Nantes was signed in 1598.
