    Tolle kleine Inseln in Nantes auf dem Fluss Erdre. Der Garten hat japanischen Flair und man kann von dort aus Bootstouren mit einem Elektroboot machen.

    So much potential, such a beautiful place with footpaths, ponds, waterfalls, and well-tended plants. Sadly ruined by the huge amounts of trash and odors of human urine at every turn. Overrun by street punks looking to make mischief, yelling and fighting, drinking and smoking and generally turning this pristine place of meditation into a gutter. An entry fee of even 1 euro would make hooligans think twice while allowing this place to live up to its true potential. Until that time, it will remain a mess.

    One of the most beautiful parks of Nantes. A Japanese garden can be found in the middle of the island, which makes it a peculiar visit.

    Amazing place to go with your family, walk, enjoy the plants, read. And there's also a spot where your kids will play for hours

    It’s beautiful but a bit neglected, It has many features of Japan such as the bridge, the plants. It also has a playground for children, suitable for family, groups, or couples who want to enjoy magnific scenery, plants change its colors from green to red.

    The place is nice, and admission is free. I appreciate the idea of having a Japanese garden in Nantes. Buildings architecture is certainly reminiscent of Japan and some of the ornaments in the garden help to create the impression of being in a Japanese garden. BUT... The place is not very clean. Plants and flowers are not as well cared for as they would be in a real Japanese garden. Maybe I had an unlucky day, there were too many people, too much noise. Definitely not a place where it is possible to free your mind.

    Such a beautiful garden! Lovely, nice and calm. You can absolutely hang out with your friends there or go for a walk with your kids!

  • 4/5 Avi G. 4 years ago on Google • 49 reviews
    A very beautiful Japanese garden. It is at a great location. And one very important note is that you can rent a small boat from the garden's pier to tour the Andre river your self. It will cost almost as much as taking the city large tour boat. Since both piers are 5 minouts walk apart, you might consider a more intimate version of the river.

    We paid 25 euros to hire an electric boat for an hour and pottered up the Loire in the sun. Very peaceful Japanese garden.

  • 5/5 Mauikai Gold D. 1 year ago on Google
    There are a myriade of parks available to go & wonder around in. Amongst the others only one happens to be a Japanese Island here in Nantes. Inside, you’ll find a few different rocks to sit on, small Koi ponds in a few places & a wonderful view of this space nestled in a European metropolis! Come by with friends or alone to reflect in a zen state 🧘🏻‍♀️🧘🏽🧘🏾‍♂️

    (Translated by Google) What used to be a clean and pleasant Japanese garden is getting dirtier and dirtier despite green space and cleaning teams doing their best. At issue: pollution of the Erdre and unscrupulous visitors who sow their rubbish everywhere despite the presence of numerous bins on site. J Pop exports Japanese savoir vivre, it doesn't seem. Namaste! ;) (Original) Ce qui a été un jardin japonais propre et agréable est de plus en plus sale malgré des équipes espace vert et nettoyage qui font de leur mieux . En cause : pollution de l'Erdre et visiteurs indélicats qui sèment leurs détritus partout malgré la présence de nombreuses poubelles sur place . La J Pop s'exporte le savoir vivre japonais , non semble t il . Namasté ! ;)

I met a few people outside to celebrate on the island between two rainy days in the middle of December, my daughter's first birthday ... Perfect! That's for me for the place it's super beautiful, this Japanese side in the city center, a bit like the Albert khan garden in Boulogne Billancourt!
