Hi guys,

could anyone suggest somewhere fab to stay over on the way to St Jean De Monts from Nantes airport?

We need to bare in mind that we'll have two tired children straight off a plane so we only want to travel a max of 30 mins from the airport. If we go somewhere half way or so then we've estimated that we'll only have approx 40 mins of travelling the next day to get to our holiday destination of Orouet, St Jean De Monts.

Check list required is;

1. Somewhere 30 min from the airport en route to holiday destination

2. Somewhere beautiful to wake up to in the morning !

3. Somewhere that serves a typical French breakfast, has swimming pool (outside)
and the Kids say 'WOW' to because its so pretty !

Not a lot to ask for I'm sure.....????


P.S RYAN AIR ARE SELLING FLIGHTS FOR £5 TO NANTES AT THE MINUTE UNTIL MONDAY I THINK? ONLY FROM CERTAIN AIRPORTS THOUGH.

Hi,
I'm trying to get to St Malo from London (by Monday 25th afternoon)and the flights to Dinard are sold out.
I could fly from London City airport to Nantes arriving 20.30h on Sunday.

*Anyone know if I could then travel on from Nantes Aeorport to St Malo at this time of evening, or would it be too late?

*Any ideas on how long it would take to do this on Monday morning?

Obviously I'd like as few changes as possible! My end destination is a hotel near the spa.

Reading other replies, I went to the travel website mentioned but couldn't figure it out - i THINK it was saying no direct trains, have to change in Rennes.

thank you!!

Could anyone please tell me what options are available to me and my family for getting from Nantes Rail Station to St Jean De Monts.

Is there a bus, if so what is the number and is there a website I can find a timetable.

If I get a train from Nantes, what is the best station to go to and are taxis readily available at the stations?

Any advice would be much appreciated.

Hi all!

Has someone stayed in Hotel du Tourisme in Nantes? What do you think of it? Do you have suggestions for another hotel in the center of Nantes?

Many thanks! or... Merci! :)

I live in Bournemouth and am looking to travel to Nantes in June, and would like to take the ferry from Poole. On the day I wish to travel there is one ferry to St Malo, which arrives at 19:30. I have enquired about trains to Nantes and it seems the last one goes at 19:50, which is probably cutting it a bit too fine. I have tried to find out about bus/coach services but have had no luck so far.

Can anyone point me in the direction of information on bus routes between St Malo and Nantes, presumably via/changing at Rennes?

Or can anyone reassure me that 20 minutes will be enough time to change from ferry to train at St Malo?

It's frustrating that it just seems assumed that anyone travelling to St Malo will just want to stop there. I'm sure it's very pretty and everything, but still...

Hi all,

Am visiting Nantes in the february first week. How will be the climate over there (especially temperature ranges) and what sort of winter clothes i need to carry there? Please reply asap..thanks in advance...

Hi.

Thanks for your help.

I will be spending around 4 to 5 hours in Nantes in the afternoon including the lunch break. How can I fruitfully utilise the time to see around Nantes? Should I travel by a tram? What would be the fare like? If somebody can help me with suggestions it would be most welcome.

what options are there for travelling from nantes airport to st jean de monts.

Any good suggestions for day trips in a car (for one or two days) outside of Nantes? We like anything -- rural and walking once we get there is always nice though. We would be there in March '09

What would the weather be like in mid-march in St. Jean de Monts?

Hi,
I am going to stay at the Châteaux de La Bretesche near Nantes. How do I get there from the Nantes train station? Should I hire a taxi? Can I take a bus? Any idea how long the trip is? I appreciate any information you can provide!

How do I get from Bristol to Nantes without a car?
Possibilities are:

go to La Rochelle by plane easijet and take a train to Nantes
go to Bournemouth for flight to Nantes

ferry to St Malo then by bus or train - any infor????

Thanx

Anyone with any inside info, please advise me!!

This is to do with travelling to the England v Samoa rugby match on Saturday September 22nd, kick off time 16.00.
I will be staying on the Friday night in a hotel in Heric and will be driving into Nantes on Saturday.
I will therefore need to be able to (a) park my car and (b) get to the the Stadium "La Beaujoire". Is it best to try to park at the stadium or should I park somewhere else and get public transport to and from the stadium.
Afterwards I will be travelling to Sables d'Olonne.
Advice urgently sought.

Hi im looking to see if anyone knows how much it costs for a taxi from nantes airport to les amiaux campsite, we are a family of four and dont drive so looking at the best options for us. we arrive around 9pm on the 30th june so trains buses are out, as we will all be knackered.

We are travelling down to a villa in St Germain de Lusignan (nr Jonzac) at the end of August and arrive in France a day before the Villa booking begins, so I was planning on splitting up the drive and stopping half (ish) way down...??

With limited knowledge of France and how we are going to get to the Villa etc etc (only booked it about an hour ago!) - I looked at a map and thought Nantes might be a nice place to stop to break up the drive?

We are a family with two adults and 3 kids (2, 3 & 8) - would Nantes be a suitable place to stop or should I look for a smaller place where we could stay out of town for a night?

Also, as there are 5 of us and we all need to get in one hotel room - does anyone have any experience of where we can stay?? (not too expensive!)

Thanks in advance!

I am realising that all the trips I am wanting to take from town to town while in Brittany is not going to be cheap!

Is it wise to buy a Euro Rail Pass , or is there some other option for regular train travel through the region?

I am wondering if there are any places to shop for vitamins and natural food supplies in Nantes?

I know it's not as widespread there as it is other places , but if anyone knows of a store , I'd love to know !

Could anyone clarify whether Nantes and Nantes Atlantique are one-in-the-same
airports or not and give advise on train or bus travel to LA ROCHELLE and LA
CHATAIGNERIE.

I will be spending the Summer in Nantes and am wanting to go to the Broceliande Forest and some nearby places there.

Anyone have any stories and or suggestions about visiting this region?

Thanks

I am moving to nantes in febuary and would like to know where the friendly night spots are?

Am lloking at travel options to nantes from Bristol, which isn't easy when trying to get my brother back to teach for the Monday 10/09/07, & negotiating the k-o time aswell. At the moment Plan A is to get a flight to Paris from Heathrow Friday evening, then train from Paris to Nante Sunday morning, then the only manageable flight back to London appears to be to Gatwick, which means an 80 min trip to Heathrow to collect the car!

Am now looking at Plan B, but some of the ferry times from St Malo to Poole look a little early at 20:10 - Does anyone know how long it should take from Nantes to St Malo on a sunday afternnon, & the respective mileage? Also, any tips for quaint 'real French' type hotels, B&B's/chateaus etc to saty in on the Saturday night would be great,as it appears Nantes is already booked out for this weekend!

P.s. Go easy on me this is my 1st time.
