Île de Petite Biesse, River island in Nantes, France.
The Île de Petite Biesse extends along the Loire River, forming a section of the larger Île de Nantes with natural spaces and walking paths.
During the early 17th century, the Récollets monastery was constructed on the island in 1618 and remained active until the French Revolution.
The island demonstrates the evolution of urban planning in Nantes, with its transformation from separate waterways into an integrated part of the city landscape.
Multiple bridges connect the island to different parts of Nantes, making it accessible for pedestrians and cyclists through dedicated pathways.
The location of the former Boire de Toussaint waterway, filled between 1930 and 1945, now serves as the route for Boulevard Gustave-Roch.
