Nantes on screen: ducal heritage, city life and industrial reinvention

These films connect Nantes’ ducal past with present-day cultural life and the reuse of its former shipyard landscape.

Explore France introduces the Château des ducs de Bretagne as a major heritage site and museum. The concise presentation helps viewers recognise the castle before visiting; current exhibitions, access and ticket details should be checked with the site. The film helps identify the castle’s role in the city’s story, while a visit can add the museum’s objects and changing exhibitions.

The City of Nantes presents its cultural life, public art and heritage in a welcoming overview. As an official destination film, it highlights the city’s offer rather than providing a step-by-step itinerary, so visitors should use current local information to plan individual stops.

France 3 follows the industrial legacy of the Île de Nantes and its transformation after the shipyards. The report helps explain why cranes and former dockland structures remain part of the city’s identity; it is a 2015 account, not a current construction update.
