History
Nantes grew as a medieval and later maritime trade center on the Loire; 19th-century shipyards and factories shaped its industrial neighborhoods now repurposed as cultural spaces.
Conservation
Stick to public paths and avoid littering; many riverside and historic areas are sensitive and benefit from low-impact visitation and respect for local signage.
