3. Conditions to benefit from duty free and tourist tax refund at Nantes-Atlantique 💸

The duty free at Nantes Atlantique Airport allows you to buy products at reduced prices thanks to a VAT exemption on many items such as perfume, cosmetics, luxury goods, alcohol, fashion or high-tech. Remember to remain vigilant regarding maximum quantities, as if you exceed them, your purchases may be confiscated.

Conditions for duty free

You must be travelling to a destination outside the European Union. Domestic flights and journeys within the European Union therefore do not give access to tax-free shopping, except in the case of departure to a French Overseas territory, where VAT exemption remains possible. Your boarding pass will serve as proof when paying at the till.

Conditions for tourist tax refund

The tourist tax refund allows visitors residing outside the European Union to be reimbursed the VAT on their purchases made in France. This scheme applies to products purchased in city shops, department stores or shopping centres, and not only in the boarding area. To obtain a VAT refund on your purchases in France you must meet the following criteria:

Reside in a country outside the European Union
Be on a temporary stay (less than 6 months in France)
Be at least 16 years old
Make a minimum purchase of €100 in the same shop within a maximum of 3 days
Request a tax refund form at the time of payment
Have this form validated by customs when leaving the European Union

Do not confuse duty free and tax refund for foreign tourists!

Unlike duty free at Nantes-Atlantique Airport, where VAT is deducted directly at the till for passengers travelling outside the European Union, the tourist tax refund only concerns purchases made in France by foreign visitors residing outside the European Union. If you do not meet either the duty free or tourist tax refund criteria: you are therefore required to pay the price including VAT.

4. Reach the airport shops from the city centre

The secret to a successful shopping session!

The time to allow for shopping at Nantes-Atlantique mainly depends on your terminal, your destination, and your shopping needs. Here is a recommendation depending on your plans:

30 minutes : for a quick purchase (gift, snack)
45 to 60 minutes : to browse the duty free and properly compare prices (perfume, alcohol, cosmetics)
1h to 1h30 : for a real shopping session (fashion, luxury, food and drink)

To save time, book your parking with Blue Valet!

To do so, you can hand over your vehicle to Blue Valet directly at the drop-off point of your terminal. We have valet drivers at your disposal who will be delighted to welcome you. You only need to book your valet in 5 minutes and we take care of parking the car in our private car park which is perfectly secure and located not far from the airport.

Indeed, it must be noted that the car parks at this airport are often far from boarding. On your side, you do not always have the possibility to manage your time. Once you arrive at the airport, you simply need to hand over your vehicle to a valet. Depending on your needs, you can also unload your luggage and thus optimise boarding.

Thanks to Blue Valet, save time and make your daily life much easier by leaving your vehicle with one of our professional valets. The valet drops off the vehicle at the drop-off point. All you have to do is collect your vehicle at the same place after your trip.
