travel from airport to train station

I am arriving in to nantes airport next week with a train booked to paris one hour and half after we land , which would be the fastest way to the train station from the airport , is there just one train station in Nantes , thought that I saw something about 2 stations sud and nord - would appreciate any help ?

Hello,

You can take the shuttle which will take you to the train station in 30 minutes. There is only one station but two exits, north or south. the shuttle will drop you to the south exit which is fine. Otherwise, you can take the taxi, it will be faster but will cost you more. One hour and a half is ok for the shuttle but check the schedules first.

Here is a link to the site for Nantes airport. It says that a taxi to the centre of town will cost 25-35 euros. Further down, it gives a link to a pdf file with the times of the Tan Air navette (the airport shuttle bus). You need to look at this carefully to see if it will be OK for your rail connection, as I think there are some longish gaps in it at certain times of day. Also, I guess the travel times of the navette could be affected by rush-hour traffic at busy times.

There is only one railway station in Nantes. But it has two exits - nord and sud. This does not matter when you are arriving to catch a train; there is a ticket office at each one, and entrance to the platforms is from a corridor between the two entrances. The Tan Air navette drops you by the south (sud) entrance, by the way.

However, it%26#39;s important if somebody is going to *meet you* from a train at the station, to be sure you have specified north or south exit - otherwise you may have a long wait!

Whoops - sorry! Forgot to put the link to Nantes airport site!

http://www.nantes.aeroport.fr/

Then click on %26quot;acces %26amp; Parkings%26quot; along near the top of the page;

Then, in the column on the left of the new page, click on %26quot;taxi, bus, navettes routieres%26quot;.
