Nantes Racecourse

Nantes Racecourse, located in the Petit Port district in the north of the city, is one of the leading racing venues in western France. Opened in 1835 and progressively modernised, it hosts around thirty race meetings each year, featuring flat, trotting and jump races. Known for its turf track and green setting near the Erdre River, it can accommodate approximately 5,000 spectators and plays a key role in the regional racing scene.
