Useful Information
Shopping
If you like shopping, you will love Nantes ! When people go window-shopping, they talk about "crébillonner" – which comes from Rue Crébillon – the city’s most famous shopping street and its area. Rue Crébillon houses the most important designer stores as well as a range of interesting local labels. The street leads to the famous Passage Pommeraye, a stunning 19th-century arcade with chic boutiques: a must-see for Nantes visitors. Don’t miss the Marché de Talensac on Place de Talensac, which is the town’s biggest market – open every day except Monday. Bargain-hunters should go to the shops on Rue Jean Jaurès and around Place Viarme, where the city’s flea market kicks off every Saturday morning.
