Self-Guided Podcast Walking Tour: The Palimpsest of Nantes

About this activity

Explore the beautiful, contradictory heart of Nantes on a journey through a city that built its 18th-century wealth on the transatlantic slave trade and its modern identity on radical mechanical imagination. Join urban-design expert Clara and Adrian as they trace the red thread from opulent merchant plazas and a subterranean memorial to abandoned shipyards reborn as fantastical art parks. Confront the shadows of the past, marvel at the steel of the future, and discover how Nantes transforms difficult history into a canvas for renewal.
