While in Nantes, we wanted to enjoy a short trip on the Loire, in Nantes. Visiting Trentemoult was the right choice. Connected to Nantes by Navibus, a small boat belong to the public transport network, Trentemoult is reachable in just some minutes.
Trentemoult is a former fishing village on an island, which does not belong to Nantes but to Rezé, a small area neighbouring Nantes. The village with its narrow streets is surrounded by the waters of Loire and Seil, the latter being an arm of the former.
Today Trentemoult’s inhabitants, most of them artists, artisans and small entrepreneurs, do not fish anymore, but enjoy other kinds of activities, mostly related to artistic life, small businesses and tourism.
Trentemoult is famous for its colourful houses, which reminded us about the Nordic countries’ house style. Apparently, the former fishers used to paint their houses with colour leftovers after painting their boats.
