Saint-Herblain

Saint-Herblain is a suburban commune located west of Nantes, featuring residential neighborhoods, shopping districts, and green areas throughout its sprawling territory. The town combines quiet residential streets with commercial centers, creating a typical suburban environment that serves the broader Nantes area.

The territory took its name from a seventh-century religious figure whose influence shaped the local identity. Development as a suburb accelerated during the twentieth century as Nantes expanded westward, transforming rural land into residential and commercial areas.

The commune maintains international connections through established partnerships with Sankt Ingbert in Germany and Waterford City in Ireland since the 1980s.

A railway station provides regular train connections to major regional cities and simplifies travel around the area. Visitors can explore neighborhoods on foot or use public transportation to move between different districts.

A 110-meter telecommunication tower marks the skyline of Saint-Herblain, serving as a central point for regional communications infrastructure.
