Ground Transportation
Nantes Atlantique Airport is located just outside the Nantes 'périphérique', the city's peripheral ring motorway, to which it is linked by a short access road. All the major roads and motorways to and from the city of Nantes intersect the 'périphérique'. Several car parks, both in the open and under cover, are located in the terminal area, with each car park having its own tariff. Car rental companies are situated at the airport, housed in a separate building directly opposite the airport terminal and next to the car rental parking lot.
An express shuttle bus, the 'Navette Tan Air', links the a stop outside the airport terminal to Nantes railway station and the city centre. Journeys are scheduled to correspond to flights, and take 30 minutes. The service forms part of Nantes's Tan public transport network, but charges a higher Tan Air fare than the standard network fare. A cheaper alternative consists in using this shuttle till the very first stop (Neustrie) and connecting there to line 3 of the Tan tram system. The through journey only requires a standard single ticket.
Taxis are available from a taxi rank outside the terminal building. A separate waiting area outside the car rental facility is used by pre-arranged taxis.

Famous quotes containing the word ground:
“On every tree a bucket with a lid,
And on black ground a bear-skin rug of snow.
The sparks made no attempt to be the moon.
They were content to figure in the trees
As Leo, Orion, and the Pleiades.
And that was what the boughs were full of soon.”
—Robert Frost (1874–1963)
