Opened on the northern square of the train station, this Jardin des Plantes delights the people of Nantes and travelers in transit. With its 7 hectares of greenery, it is one of the four major botanical gardens in France, with 10,000 living species, 800 m² of greenhouses, more than 50,000 flowers planted each season and its collection of camellias, the emblematic flower of Nantes. Some trees, like the old magnolia, have been there since the early 19th century! Children and adults alike love the aviary and the dwarf goats, as well as the playgrounds.

This 112-hectare park is a haven of peace for joggers with its 4, 5 or 8 km of paths around the Saint-Nicolas pond, but also a superb playground and discovery area for children, with its toy boat basin, its pedal carts and its animal enclosures. Come and (re) discover this pleasant park for a stroll, a picnic, to enjoy the refreshment bar in good weather, or why not for a little ride on the merry-go-round for young and old alike.

If it is only one would like to see revivre, which no longer exist for a long time. Finally, we do not have to complain, we have the magical decor of the Gallo-Roman enclosure and one can sit quietly for chatting or admire the landscape, between the flowers of flowers and plants, or even watch Couler, peacefully.

This Arena-shaped park, created in 2002, is located at the location of the former Chanzy military barracks (built at the end of the 117 th century), which housed the 104 ^th and ^th Infantry Regiment. There are four entrances to access. A variety of plantations blend with lush vegetation. A large waterfall echoes a multitude of alternative water jets that are trapped by children in summer. A beautiful rose garden attracts hikers and small, artificial hills. A playground and a covered place for artistic exhibitions are also present… all the different atmospheres within this contemporary park make it a place of unique charm.

Located near the city centre and South station, this small urban park is the most recent of the city since its construction dates back to 2008. It owes its name to the fact that it connects the two banks of the Sarthe, between the two arms of that river. An amphitheatre and a playground have been set up. A large grassland, below, serves as a spillway in the event of flooding. The construction project would not have been created without the determination of the members of the association of the Island aux Planches. The land belonged to EDF, and their wish was to cede it to promoters for a real estate project (two columns, at the entrance to the park, evoke EDF and SFM).

You will find a breathtaking view of the peninsula at the price of a slight whirling.
