Nantes is served by an international airport, Nantes Atlantique Airport and a major French railway station, the Gare de Nantes.

As of 2013, Nantes holds the title of European Green Capital, awarded by the European Commission for its efforts to reduce air pollution and CO2 emissions, for its high-quality and well-managed public transport system, and for its biodiversity with 3,366 hectares of green spaces and several Natura 2000 zones which guarantee protection of nature in the area.

==Etymology==
The name Nantes, (pronounced (:nɑ̃t) in French, (ブルトン語:Naoned), Gallo: ''Naunnt''), derives from that of its pre-Roman-era inhabitants, the Gaulish tribe known as the Namnetes, who founded a town there around 70 BC. The city was called Portus Namnetum during the Roman occupation that began in 56 BC. The inhabitants of Nantes are known in French as ''Nantais'' ().
Nantes' most common nickname is the ''Venice of the West'' (, (ブルトン語:Venezia ar C'hornôg)),〔(The Venice of the West ) RugbyWorldCup.com. Retrieved 7 December 2007.〕 a name owing to its position on the river delta of the Loire, the Erdre, and the Sèvre.〔(Blue Nantes ) FranceGuide.com. Retrieved 7 December 2007.〕
