Nantes Self-Guided City Walking Tour & Scavenger Hunt

About this activity

Nantes produced the Edict of Tolerance, dreamed up Jules Verne, and built a shopping arcade so beautiful it's still in use — a city of consequential ideas.

This app-led scavenger hunt takes you through Nantes on foot, using phone-based riddles to guide you from one landmark to the next. No guide, no fixed start time.

• Follow clues to the Château des ducs de Bretagne, the Passage Pommeraye, and the Place Graslin — ducal power, architectural wonder, and neoclassical elegance in one walk

• Move through Nantes at your own pace, following the app's lead

• Perfect for families, couples, and groups of any size

Available in 24 languages including English, French, German, Spanish, Italian — see the full list when booking and choose yours when you start the game in the app.

Around 2 hours - any group size.

Jules Verne imagined extraordinary journeys here. This one takes about 2 hours.
