Reviewed By Tanmouss - Oslo, Norway
Inside the centuries old walls stands a pretty village with pedestrian streets and local specialties shops many of which sell the world famous salt of Guerande in different variations including caramel with salt. The number of creperies is also striking, regional specialty as well. Many shops close between 1 and 2pm. Meanwhile, one can have a few crêpes!

From the city centre of Nantes, Trentemoult can be accessed from Gare Maritime (a black box building located near the tram station of the same name) via the Navibus which comes free when you have the Nantes Pass-- just show it to the crew before boarding (it's 25 Euros for 24 hours and 35 for 48 hours). The Navibus leaves to Trentemoult every 20, 40, and 00 of the hour every weekday. It's a 10-minute cruise from Gare Maritime to the fishing village. I enjoyed the cruise very much, as the Loire River was calm even though it was drizzling a bit. Trentemoult has a lot of riverside cafes and restaurants. At first, I was disappointed because I thought the riverside shops and restaurants were all there was to see there, but when I started to go through the little alleyways, that's when I saw all the colorful, rustic, old-architecture houses that made them look like they were frozen in time. There were lots of flora, and some of the houses there were quirky and funny. I enjoyed my two hours strolling around in Trentemoult because it made me feel more relaxed and unrushed. There was no hustle and bustle-- just peace and silence with nary another soul in sight for stretches of time. It was just me, peacefully taking a casual stroll with my umbrella and camera in hand. Highly-recommended!
