Nantes sits on the Loire river in western France, its old shipbuilding history reworked into Les Machines de l'Ile, a park of giant mechanical animals including a walking elephant, on the site of former docks. The Chateau des Ducs de Bretagne, former seat of the Dukes of Brittany, anchors the historic centre.
