Hi we are travelling to Nantes airport next week, and would appreciate tips for getting to the Appart%26#39;city Cap Affaires at Le Sanitat, 2 Impasse Du Sanitat, 44100 Nantes.
I know there is a TAN shuttle or the number 37 bus to the tram stop, but I%26#39;ve not got my directions yet.
Any help most gratefully received
thanks
Mike

Hello,
You can take the airport shuttle which will take you to the city center at station %26quot;Commerce%26quot;. There,take the tramway, line 1 direction François Mitterand, from Commerce. Stop at Chantiers Navals (it%26#39;s just 2 stops after Commerce). From there, it%26#39;s a 2 mn walk.

Thanks for the info. Just wondered if the ticket for the TAN will do for the tram ride, or will we need to purchase new tickets at the train station?
Off topic , but you might be able to help. We need to catch the train from Nantes to La Rochelle, and it seems that under 25%26#39;s get a discount - is this correct and do we need a railpass to get the discount? This may be wrong, but some 1st class tickets seem cheaper than standard - is this possible?
thanks
Mike

It%26#39;s not the same ticket so you%26#39;ll need to buy a tram ticket at Commerce station. You will find automatic points, it%26#39;s really easy.
Train tickets are quite weird indeed. For the train, you need to have a card 12-25 but you can also get reductions on a few lines. You%26#39;ll find the info on voyages-sncf.com
Yes, it%26#39;s true, sometimes it%26#39;s cheaper to travel 1st class. It all depends of the promotions you can get.
Cheers

Sorry Niepce71, but I checked on the tan.fr website, and it says %26quot;Le ticket TAN Air : 6,20 €
Valable une heure sur l%26#39;ensemble du réseau TAN, le ticket unité TAN Air doit être composté à la première montée.%26quot;
So the shuttle ticket is also valid for the whole tram and bus network of Nantes.

Thanks for all the info - looking forward to our first visit to Nantes

Quick update re travel. We bought Tan tickets from driver on bus - 4 tickets for around 16euro - normally around 6.5 euro each, so worth buying in bulk for return journey.
The Nantes Card is around 16euro for 24 hours, and if you plan it, you could do Castle Museum (opens early), Fine Art Museum, River Cruise and Ile de Machines workshop (stays open till late)in one day - we did with time for lunch and dinner. Travel tickets are dirt cheap, especially La Lila ticket to Pornic - just 2euro each way, which also includes 1 hr travel on Nantes system - an absolute bargain.

Hi Shirburn
We are landing in Nantes on Saturday afternoon and returning Tuesday - can I just confirm you buy the 4 tickets on the Tan Shuttle bus for the return journey too.
Thanks

Hi,
that%26#39;s right - the tickets are valid for an hour, so you can use them on the normal bus once you get into town if you want. You can buy the return tickets in advance on the bus which works out cheaper e6.20 each or 4 for e16.
Just stamp them once you get on the bus.
Hope you have a great time - we did. If you are after a treat do go to La Cigale - really nice brasserie, but check the prices first and it%26#39;s all in French, so be prepared! We enjoyed going to the see the elephant and his friends at Les Machines de I%26#39;Ile - great fun. If you get one of the day passes you can do a fair bit, including the river cruise, ferry across the river and museums. We also got the cheap bus to Pornic for the day - it was only a few euro for an hours journey.
