Accessibility

Nantes lies at the heart of a particularly efficient transport network. 

21 daily TGVs (high speed trains) every half hour during peak periods place Nantes two hours from Paris. It also has direct TGV links to Lyon, Lille, Roissy and Strasbourg. Roads provide direct links to Paris (3 hrs 15) and the regional capitals. 

The international Nantes-Atlantique airport, the biggest in Western France and one hour from Roissy, provides regular direct flights to 34 business destinations including 19 across the world, such as Amsterdam, Barcelona, London, Madrid, Milan, Frankfurt, Geneva, Dublin and Montreal.
