Carpooling (covoiturage) is another way to reach
Nantes with a small budget. You can visit
www.covoiturage.fr to search for available carpooling places. The price
range is between 20€ to 30€ from Paris to Nantes.
Nantes has a bike renting network, called Bicloo: you can rent a bike at a Bicloo
station, travel with it, and return it to another station.
The price is separated in two parts: the first one is the “access to network”
part, it costs 1€/day or 5€/week, the second one is the “bike rental” part, it
is free for the first 30 minutes, 0.5€ for the second 30 minutes, 1€ for the
third one, 2€ after. For exemple, if you rent a bike for two hours, it will
cost you: 1€ (network) + (0.5+1+2) € (bike) = 4.5€. For more information, visit
www.bicloo.nantesmetropole.fr.


The city of Nantes has
a big network of tram lines and bus lines, which allows you to go conveniently
to all the places you would like to visit. The
school Audencia is near the tram station “Ecole Centrale – Audencia” on line 2
in the North of the city.
Both
tram and bus require the same ticket, you can buy them by 10 (carnet) at automatic ticket selling
machines or at kiosks for 13.8€. The ticket is valid for 1h starting from the
first composting, and you can change lines as many times as you want within the
hour.

But the most economic
way to use the public transport is to get the libertan
card, which costs maximum 33.9€ per month for unlimited
use of tram and bus. The advantage is that the cheapest price is automatically
calculated: if you travel less than 25 times, you only pay on a “per travel”
basis, but if you travel more, the price is blocked at 33.9€. For more
