Parc des Chantiers, Urban park on Île de Nantes, France
The Parc des Chantiers extends across 17 hectares along the Loire River, featuring industrial heritage elements, walking paths, and green spaces between Anne de Bretagne Bridge and the Gray Titan crane.
This public space occupies the grounds of former shipyards that defined Nantes' maritime industry until their closure, marking the transformation of the industrial site into a recreational area.
The park integrates contemporary art installations, exhibition spaces, and performance venues, with the Machines de l'île workshop creating mechanical creatures that roam the grounds.
Visitors can access the park through Boulevard Léon Bureau, with nearby tram stops at Chantiers Navals and dedicated parking facilities at Les Machines and Chantiers Navals.
The Cantine du Voyage, constructed from agricultural greenhouses, spans 2000 square meters and serves local products while maintaining an educational garden on its perimeter.
