Taxi Redon → Nantes
Your Redon → Nantes transfer at €135–€165. 70 km via the D164 and N137.
A taxi between Redon and Nantes costs between €135 and €165 when booked in advance at a fixed price, over a road distance of about 70 kilometres and a journey time of from 50 to 65 minutes depending on traffic. The usual route takes N137/D164, with no tolls. A van for up to seven passengers starts at €215. That price includes luggage, tolls and the driver's approach, and it does not move if traffic builds up: that is the difference with a metered ride, where every minute of waiting is charged and the applicable rate depends on the hour. On an unbooked ride, the amount follows the scale of the prefectoral order applying where the passenger is picked up, higher from seven in the evening to ten in the morning as well as on Sundays and public holidays. The driver tracks the flight or train number given at booking and shifts the pick-up at no extra cost if it is delayed, and cancelling remains free up to six hours before departure.

The Redon to Nantes journey links the Breton river crossroads to the great Loire metropolis, crossing varied landscapes that tell the geological and human story of Loire-Atlantique. Redon, at the confluence of the Vilaine and the Oust, is a water town par excellence: the navigable Vilaine long carried barges laden with Guérande salt and forest timber. The Nantes-to-Brest canal, inaugurated in 1842 after thirty-six years of monumental works, runs through Redon and today offers a 360-kilometre river tourism and cycling route popular in summer. The route to Nantes crosses the Pontchâteau plain and skirts the margins of the Grande Brière, France's second-largest wetland after the Camargue. This 7,000-hectare marsh, classified as a regional nature park, is an extraordinary ecosystem of peat bogs, reed beds and flood meadows, home to bitterns, marsh harriers and countless species of ducks and waders. The Briérons, centuries-old marsh inhabitants, developed a unique culture of fishing, hunting and peat harvesting, preserved in traditional reed-thatched cottages. Nantes, the destination, is a metropolis of 660,000 in full cultural and economic renaissance, known worldwide for its Machines de l'Ile, Chateau des Ducs de Bretagne and Voyage a Nantes summer art trail.
Route
Route Redon → Nantes
Your driver leaves Redon on the D164 towards Nantes, crossing the Vilaine bridge then heading into the Loire-Atlantique countryside. The first kilometres run alongside the Nantes-to-Brest canal, whose straight course lined with poplars and punctuated by locks is glimpsed through the bocage hedgerows. The road passes through Fégréac, a rural commune nestled in a Vilaine meander, before reaching Pontchâteau, a market town perched on a rise above the Brière plain. The Pontchâteau calvary, built in the 17th century by the missionary Louis-Marie Grignion de Montfort and enlarged in the 19th century, is one of western France's most visited pilgrimage sites with its monumental statues and open-air Stations of the Cross. After Pontchâteau, the road joins the N137, a toll-free dual carriageway heading to Nantes. You then skirt the eastern margins of the Grande Brière, a vast flat expanse of marsh and reed beds where sky and water merge on the horizon. You pass through Savenay before joining the Nantes northern ring road. The journey takes 50 minutes normally and can reach 1h05 during Nantes rush hours.

Tips & best practices
Specific tips for the Redon → Nantes route
The Nantes-to-Brest canal offers superb cycling or walking along its towpath — if you have time before leaving Redon, a 30-minute stroll along the lock and quays is a moment of serenity. At Pontchâteau, the monumental calvary (free, open access) deserves a 15-minute stop to admire its life-size statues and panoramic views over the Brière plain. If you enjoy nature, ask your driver for a detour to the port of Bréca in the Brière (10 km): flat-bottomed boats (chalands) offer a silent glide through the marsh channels, a total change of scenery. In Nantes, Les Machines de l'Ile are the star attraction — book online for the 12-metre mechanical Grand Elephant. The Chateau des Ducs de Bretagne is essential: courtyard and ramparts free, history museum 8 euros. The Talensac market, the city's oldest, is open daily except Monday with fresh coastal produce, cheeses and Muscadet wine. The Bouffay quarter, Nantes' medieval heart, is full of creperies and restaurants in its pedestrian lanes.
