tres tres bien!!! Definitely worth repeating. The Nantes Pass is a great help because it allows you to easily and inexpensively get to all the sights for which you would otherwise have to buy individual tickets. I am delighted with the public transport, the traffic-free "old town", the friendly people and the good food everywhere. Bravo.

We had the 7-day pass for 75 euros per person. We used it for public transport, a trip along the Loire to St. Nazaire including the TER back to Nantes, the Petit Train (city tour), entry to the Machines d'Ile, the Mondes Marins carousel and a free drink. We couldn't have imagined better value for money.

Transport serves the city well, is plentiful and on time. The Naolib app also makes it easy to get from one point to another in the city. The pass allows you to take all forms of transport without any constraints and to access museums without worrying.

Very well, the Nantes pass is wonderful, not only are there tickets and transportation, it also serves as a guide so you don't miss any museums.
