Memorial to the abolition of slavery

Located in the historic heart of Nantes, the Château des Ducs de Bretagne is a landmark of the city's urban heritage. It was built at the end of the 15th century by François II, the last Duke of Brittany, and then by his daughter, Anne of Brittany, twice Queen of France. A château steeped in six centuries of history, it houses a residential palace with refined facades and Renaissance-style loggias. At the heart of the medieval quarter of Nantes, its courtyard, ramparts and moat are accessible to the public. A public square, it welcomes you for a moment of relaxation or during major cultural events.

As the main gate of the medieval city, the Porte Saint-Michel is the most emblematic historical monument of Guérande. By visiting it, you will discover its history as well as a temporary exhibition displaying the collections of the Guérande museum. You will finish your visit on the ramparts, with an access of 1/3 of the whole surrounding wall (Despite being preserved in the respect of their authenticity, the 2/3 remaining have undergone the afflictions of history and are not accessible to the public.)
