Moulin de L'Epinay

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.

The museum, housed in an old private mansion, displays two permanent collections: Fine Arts (350 paintings and sculptures from the 14th century to the present day) and The History of Angers (550 archaeological pieces and objets d’art from the Neolithic period to the present day). Not to be missed : Joardens, Champaigne, Lippi, Guardi, Tiepolo, Boucher, Watteau, Fragonard, Corot, Maurice Denis or Morellet.
