nom de plume Posted February 6, 2006 Share Posted February 6, 2006 Apart from you must be mad if you do... We will be in Nantes this Wednesday and Thursday in a larger than average vehicle. We want to visit a couple of places in the city centre and the Musee Dobree to the SW. Can anyone suggest a good place to park a vehicle that is over 2.7 meters in height and 5.5 meters in lenght.many thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Albert the infopikey Posted February 6, 2006 Share Posted February 6, 2006 The bed of the Loire would probably be the best place. It looks like you could probably drive down the bank somewhere in the vicinity of l'isle de la Chenaie.[8-)] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blanche Neige Posted February 6, 2006 Share Posted February 6, 2006 N de P If you contact the tourist information office they may be able to advise. I know Nantes has an excellent tram system so if you can find a large car park near the ring road that might be the best solution. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alexis Posted February 6, 2006 Share Posted February 6, 2006 It all depends where you are arriving from. I go to Orvault and park in Leclerc's car park and take the tram.Other teminuses are Neustre, Beaujoire, Sauton, St Herblain (Ikea!).All take about 30 minutes to arrive at the centre and cost 2.10€ for two tickets of one hour. Orvault can be reached from the peripheric but when you leave the route, go down to the roundabout, over the tram line, turn right, go down to the next roundabout and right round. You have to keep "messing about" because of the tram lines. Don't take this entry into Leclerc. Go right at the next roundabout - it is all within a couple of hundred yards - go down to the next roundabout, turn right, right again, then right into the parking in front of the petrol station and there is loads of room. There is an 'official' car park but barriers. Lots of folk use Leclerc. Grand Val is what you look out for.Ikea is alright but they have height barriers.Phew! Have a good time. I love Nantes. ps. don't know anything about the other side of the river but I know the terminus is Neustre as it is the other end of the Orvault line.

nom de plume Posted February 10, 2006 Author Share Posted February 10, 2006 Just for the record, we had a great couple of days in Nantes. Our firststop was the Musee Navel Maille Breze, we drove around the ring road toexit 30 and followed the river into the centre of town. There was freeall day parking just outside the ship. The shops and sites were just ashort walk away.Diana Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All those lop sided falling down houses that cost a FORTUNE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
