The impressive city of Nantes straddles the Loire River in the Western Loire a few miles upstream from Saint Nazaire. Birthplace of the author Jules Verne and one-time home to the Dukes of Brittany, Nantes is a vibrant city with a rich heritage and strong maritime connections that go back many centuries. If you're looking for a classy city apartment overlooking a river or an elegant French property in a country location that is within easy reach of high quality amenities, Nantes is the place to look!
Two other important rivers in the region converge on Nantes - the Erdre and the Sevre. The Erdre flows in from the Reservoir de Vioreau to the north of Nantes, while the Sevre flows in from the south-east. Together with the Loire, these three rivers provide ample opportunity to French property buyers to acquire waterfront Nantes property in some rather exclusive areas. Prices range from 180,000 euros to 250,000 euros for a 2-bed apartment with waterfront view.
On the outskirts of Nantes and in the countryside there is some quite exceptional Nantes property for sale. Everything from chateaux to a run down villa in France overlooking the Loire can be found. There are also many fine villages and hamlets in which prospective buyers can concentrate their search.
