Le Voyage à Nantes : the trail in the city

a trail for the summer 2012

New artworks in the middle of the public space, visual interventions in the streets of Nantes, festive places, singular cruises in a revisited heritage...

Description

Le Voyage à Nantes is a 8,5 km urban tour, from the SNCF train station to the western point of the Isle of Nantes. On your way, let yourself be guided from one artwork signed by a today’s great artist to a remarkable element of our heritage, from « inevitable » destinations to unknown treasures, from a historic alleyway to a contemporary piece of achitecture, from a stunning point of view of the city to a sunset on the estuary…
On the whole, there are about thirty stops, from East to West, joining to create a sensitive and poetic tour : Le Voyage à Nantes is all the multiplicity and the uniqueness of a scattered monument.
