Nantes is a city in western France, sitting along the Loire, the Erdre, and the canal Saint-Félix. Located in the Pays de la Loire region, it serves as the administrative capital of the Loire-Atlantique department. The city is built on low-lying terrain, with an elevation of just 18 metres, and is served by Nantes Atlantique Airport.
Property in Nantes is slightly cheaper than the average for France. The eastern district of Doulon - Bottière holds far more of the housing stock than any other part of the city, followed by the Centre Ville. The most expensive homes are found in Dervallières - Zola and Hauts-Pavés - Saint-Félix, where prices sit well above the city average. In contrast, the Île de Nantes, an island in the river, and the western district of Bellevue - Chantenay - Sainte-Anne offer much cheaper housing, with prices falling well below those of the central and northern districts.
