Château des ducs de Bretagne · Decré
History hits close to home in this guided walk through Nantes' wartime years, from occupation and Vichy to the resistance and the execution of 50 hostages in 1941. Sobering, human, and powerfully told inside the castle museum.

Château des ducs de Bretagne · Decré
Nantes' history museum gets a bold reframing. This guided tour confronts the city's role in the colonial slave trade through Rosana Paulino's tributes to Afro-Brazilian women and Omar Victor Diop's striking self-portraits as African historical figures.

Finished events drop off the list. Check the listing for times and booking details before heading out.
Tell me when you’re free, where you’ll be, and what sounds appealing. “Live music near me, somewhere I can sit, under $30” gives me more to work with than “something fun.” You can keep narrowing it down with me.
