Hangar à Bananes
Hangar à Bananes is a bus stop in Nantes located near the river and waterfront area. It features multiple bus routes with clear signage and straightforward platforms, offering views of the water and passing boats from the waiting areas.
The site was originally a warehouse for bananas and port goods, reflecting Nantes' maritime past. Over time it evolved into a modern transport hub that connects the area's historical port functions with contemporary travel needs.
The name comes from bananas that were once stored here, a reminder of Nantes' busy port days. Today it serves as a gathering place where locals and visitors connect with the city's maritime roots and waterfront heritage.
The bus stop is easy to reach with multiple routes connecting different neighborhoods and clear signage for orientation. Seating areas and waiting zones make your time pleasant, especially while enjoying the river views.
The location doubles as a boarding point for the Navibus boat service that crosses the Loire directly to Bas Chantenay, making it a rare combination of bus stop and boat dock. This unusual pairing transforms a simple transit point into a gateway for river journeys through the city.
