What Nantes actually is

Purpose
Nantes urban heritage and arts route; Machines de l’île tickets, estuary cruises and vineyards separate. Compare the railway-station base at Mercure with the central Radisson and OKKO locations. Included OKKO breakfasts are deducted once, without treating club snacks as full meals. Machines attractions, Loire-estuary excursions and vineyards need separate tickets and transport.
Energy
Inventive and relaxed, with an art trail, a castle and giant machines.
What feels different
A Loire city reinvented through public art.

Dated cost examples

Six dated, itemised examples from 2027-01-19 to 2027-01-25: 6 nights and 7 days for two adults sharing one room, which is 14 person-days. Prices are as observed in October 2026, cover ground costs only, and are not multiplied out to other party sizes or trip lengths.

Dated planning illustration for two adults sharing one room, 19–25 January 2027: seven days and six nights, flights excluded. Hotel prices are public room-table observations from 2 October 2026, not checkout-reconciled quotes or held rooms. Breakfast, water, drinks, activities and marked transport lines are MTC gross estimates, not supplier quotes or free attractions. Not bookable, not a quote and not an annual or calculator default; do not scale it linearly to a different party.

Totals carry calculated conditional fee reserves (hotel taxes and, where marked, conditional meal covers); they are shown with the subtotal before reserves and are not final charges or maximums. Provider headline includes taxes/charges, but the final itemized bill and additional fees are unreconciled. No duplicated VAT. Conditional EUR 34.32 reserve: assumed four-star tariff EUR 2.86 ×2 adults×6 nights, including the 10% departmental addition once. Official 2026 tariff visually verified; January 2027 and exact hotel inclusion/classification must be confirmed. Lunch and dinner use La Cigale as dated named-menu price benchmarks, distinct from itinerary recommendations, counted once. They are not a promise of daily opening, January availability or a reservation, not a city average and not a seven-day dining plan; dish names are not dietary or allergen certification. Menu charges: Prices extracted from current official September menus; fixed menu price benchmark, not January guarantee. Main menu states net euro prices. Every total shows its reserve and the subtotal before it. Each example is headed by its hotel's name; the order follows room price, not quality.
