Pays de la Loire regional capital on the Loire River — historically the capital of Brittany (until administrative restructuring 1956) and France's sixth-largest metro. The Bouffay (the dense medieval old town) and the Île de Nantes (the converted-shipyard cultural island anchored by "Les Machines de l'Île" — the Jules-Verne-inspired mechanical-animal park) are the walkable cores. France has no DNV; long séjour temporaire visiteur or Talent Passport. Schengen. Roughly 40-50% cheaper than central Paris on rent with direct TGV to Paris (2h05) and 1h to the Atlantic coast.
