Bouffay, Medieval district in central Nantes, France

The narrow cobblestone streets of Bouffay contain numerous timber-framed buildings from the 15th century, including the Apothecaries House and Jacobins Hotel.

The first Nantes castle was built in this location during the 10th century under Duke Conan I, giving the district its name Bouffay.

The district maintains a traditional wine connection through visible grapevines that produce Muscadet, a regional white wine from the Nantes area.

Located between Verdun Street and tram line 1, this pedestrian zone offers direct access to restaurants, shops, and historic buildings throughout the day.

The Garden of La Psalette, located beneath the cathedral, surrounds a 15th-century mansion and provides a secluded space within the district.
