Quai Ernest-Renaud, Riverfront area in Nantes, France.
Quai Ernest-Renaud is a riverfront pathway in Nantes that runs along the Loire. The walkway connects different sections of the waterfront and provides direct access to boat terminals and the river.
The site was once a salt warehouse before undergoing changes during the French Revolution. It later came under the control of the Chamber of Commerce and served different functions.
The waterfront serves as a gathering place where locals take walks and pause to enjoy views of the river. People linger here to watch the water and take in the scene around them.
The waterfront is easily accessible on foot and offers plenty of space for walking and lingering. Boat tours depart from the piers, and parking is available nearby.
The name honors a merchant marine captain who rescued shipwrecked sailors from the sea in 1858. This heroic act is commemorated through the waterfront's name.
