On your last day in France, take time to indulge in shopping at Nantes’s popular marketplace. Look for keepsakes or souvenirs to remind you of your trip.
Before you conclude your road trip in France, drop by another restaurant for a last chance at a memorable dining experience in Nantes.
Have a fantastic dining experience at Le 1, a highly recommended choice for tonight's dinner. If you're looking to mix things up, L'instinct gourmand offers an enticing alternative with its varied menu.
You’ll then say farewell to Nantes. Drive to the airport, return your car, and take the opportunity to get some last-minute souvenirs before you board your flight home. We wish you a pleasant journey and hope you leave with many wonderful memories of your road trip in France!
