Nantes (Breton: Naoned, Gallo: Naunnt) is a city in western France, located on the Loire River, 50 km from the Atlantic coast. The city is the sixth largest in France, while its metropolitan area is the eighth with 711,120 inhabitants at the 1999 census, and 804,833 inhabitants at a 2008 estimate.
Nantes is the prefecture of the Pays de la Loire region, as well as the Loire-Atlantique departement. It is also the most important city of the historic province of Brittany, and culturally still remains strongly identified with it. The city's name derives from the Nemnetes, a Gallic tribe who had settled there before the Romans conquered Gaul.
In 2004, Time described Nantes as "the most livable city in all Europe".
