Presentation of the Nantes agency
Since 2021, Nantes Sotheby's International Realty has been serving a high-end clientele in and around Nantes. Proudly located in the hyper-center of Nantes, just a few steps from Place Graslin, the agency boasts an elegant interior and a space dedicated to welcoming visitors. The agency was integrated into the prestigious Sotheby's International Realty network in 2016.
The team, headed by Caroline Louboutin, a former notary graduate, includes a sales agent. Thanks to her notarial expertise, she is able to provide sound complementary advice on taxation and organization. All our consultants are fluent in English, reflecting the agency's resolutely international outlook.
The properties offered for sale range from mansions in the city center to houses further away from the city center, with large surface areas for the comfort of families. We have also completed a number of transactions, including the sale of a beautiful apartment in the famous Passage Pommeraye.
The Nantes real estate market
The Nantes prestige real estate market is very dynamic, with a high level of demand from both buyers and sellers.
The majority of customers are from Paris. Their searches are focused on the hypercentre of Nantes or its adjoining districts such as Canclaux, Saint-Félix and Saint-Anne. The Chantenay and Saint-Donatien districts are also increasingly in demand, as are the communities along the Loire.
Mainly oriented towards the acquisition of a principal residence, distinguished customers show a marked preference for family residences or private mansions, embellished with an exposed garden.
A new trend is emerging: some customers, mainly young retirees wishing to settle on the Vendée coast, are selling their main residence, and buying a property in Nantes to renovate and enjoy a city with a rich cultural heritage and exquisite gastronomy.
Nantes: history and heritage
Taking its name from the Celtic “Namnète” people who founded it, Nantes has been coveted many times. In 490, it was invaded by Clovis and came under the domination of the Franks. It was then attacked by the Bretons, Vikings and Anjou. Anne de Bretagne, twice Queen of France, is one of the city's most emblematic historical figures: her statue stands in front of the Château des Ducs de Bretagne, the city's oldest monument. The town's cathedral and fortress, with its seven-tower walkway offering uninterrupted views over the city, are well worth a visit.
Ranked as one of the world's most livable cities, Nantes is appreciated for its quality of life. In fact, it has been awarded the title of “Green Capital of Europe”. The city boasts a dynamic cultural scene, with numerous theatrical performances and colorful events.
With a strong reputation for gastronomy, the city is proud to be home to a number of Michelin-starred restaurants. The popular La Cigale restaurant is appreciated for its exceptional cuisine and elegant Art Nouveau decor. The Michelin-starred restaurant Roza, on Place de la Monnaie, and the romantic Le Bouchon, near the Galeries Lafayette, are also not to be missed.
Thanks to the Sotheby's International Realty network, the agency benefits from a networked approach and is able to provide its customers with exceptional resources. Thanks to the reputation of the prestigious Sotheby's house, customers place their trust in the agency, an added value that sets it apart from the competition.
