The Nantes Conservatory is a French artistic education institution located in Nantes, in the Loire-Atlantique department. It is approved and controlled by the French State, through the regional directorate of cultural affairs of Pays de la Loire. The institution originated from an establishment founded in 1846 and later became a regional national conservatory of music, dance, and dramatic art. Today, it includes three specialties: music, dramatic art, and choreography.
The history of the conservatory traces its creation to 1846. Two locations were considered for its reception, including rue Gaëtan-Rondeau in the new Beaulieu district on the current Île de Nantes. The chosen site was rue Gaëtan-Rondeau on the Île de Nantes, where the new building was inaugurated in 1979. The conservatory therefore combines a long institutional history with a specific presence in the urban landscape of Nantes.
