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.

Nantes invites you to discover a city where history is found at every corner. The old building facades tell stories of many years of shipping and exchanges, while the main squares stay lively and full of life. Gardens along the water and stone castles that overlook the city give peaceful spots to relax and explore for all visitors. People who enjoy arts and making things will find a lot to see in Nantes. Museums have collections of paintings and sculptures from many past centuries, and art installations hide in the streets. The Machines of the Island attract visitors with large mechanical creatures, and the Passage Pommeraye, a shopping gallery from the 19th century, impresses with its decorated stairs and glass design. The Loire river itself becomes a place for walks. Gardens near the water, like the Versailles Island with its bridges and ponds, offer quiet ways to wander. The village of Trentemoult, with its colorful houses and restaurants, keeps the feel of an old fishing port. If you want to join a guided tour, a green line painted on the ground links the main cultural and historic spots around the city.
