Starting at Rue de Lourmel, 44000 Nantes, France, open the Explorial app and enter the 6-digit game code that you received by text and Viator chat message. The riddles take you from the station district into the historical core of a city that has been at the centre of French history since the Middle Ages.
Your first landmark is the Château des ducs de Bretagne, the medieval fortress where the Edict of Nantes was signed in 1598 and whose moated walls and towers now enclose a museum of Nantes history — a building that has witnessed five centuries of French political life at close range.
From there the app takes you to the Passage Pommeraye, a three-level glass-roofed shopping arcade built in 1843 whose marble staircases, gas lamp fixtures, and ornamental ironwork make it one of the most beautiful commercial interiors in France and a UNESCO-listed monument.
The route concludes at Place Graslin, the elegant neoclassical square framed by the Grand Théâtre and its surrounding café-lined arcades — the beating heart of the city's cultural and social life since the 18th century.
Around 2 hours on foot through the compact centre.
