Nantes is the capital city of the Pays de la Loire region and the Loire-Atlantique département and also the largest city in the Grand-Ouest, North western France in English.

Though officially separated from Brittany in 1789, Nantes is culturally Breton and still widely regarded as its capital city. The Nantes Tramway opened in 1985, a reversal of the trend of tramway closures that had been going on since the middle of the 20th century.
