Here is an idea for an outing warm and exotic in the heart of winter. Head to the tropical atmosphere of the Palmarium du Jardin des Plantes with its 25 degrees and its 80% humidity level! At nightfall, the Palmarium greenhouse lights up for an immersion in the Guyanese Jungle! To discover in particular, the sound and light creation “le chant du palmarium” until January 4, 2025.

30 minutes from Nantes, for an original family outing, go to Legendia Parc which offers to experience the magic of Christmas differently until January 5, 2025! On the program, original and enchanting creations, with wolfdogs from Saarloos, who should delight young and old alike!
Enjoy the last Christmas festivities
Two rides, Christmas markets, pop-up shops, the Voyage en Hiver illuminations, and the latest entertainment such as choirs and parades… This is enough to immerse you fully in the magic of Christmas! And to complete the atmosphere, why not head to a nearby ice rink? Special mention for the one in Carquefou, where you can even try your hand at curling. A frosty break worth the detour!
The major exhibitions of the moment not to be missed
If you haven’t discovered them yet, now is the time to go! Between the fascinating On your lips at the FRAC and the LU, the captivating story of Liners 1913-1942 at the Nantes Art Museum, and l’expo Knights at the Château des ducs, there is something for everyone.
