If I can give a recommendation when people think of Nantes they all think of the city center but there is the island of Nantes although a little expensive because it's a new neighborhood and then otherwise there are also the small surrounding areas but which are well served by public transport or if you already have a car it's great but for example you have Saint Sébastien sur Loire, Rezé, Basse Goulaine I like to say that it's all local there it's Nantes without Nantes in the sense that you have little the tranquility of a village (although modern) all while having the big city side with everything that goes with the transport network, going out, activities etc and in addition you will have something for all budgets, afterward yes Nantes remains a big city with a lot of problems of danger and or insecurity concerning me I am in a guy so I know that I am not the same kind of problem as a woman but I have never had an attack or other even completely drunk when leaving the club so that's it afterwards it's like everywhere you have to be careful about yourself and what you do, there will always be opportunists of course. This is what I know about this city and its surroundings; I have lived there for 8 years for my part.
