Nantes attracts mobile professionals thanks to its economic dynamism, its service-sector activities and several major projects, particularly on the Île de Nantes. The metropolitan area is also regularly cited among French cities where people enjoy living and working.
For relocation agencies in Nantes, the challenge does not stop once housing has been found. They also need to help people settle quickly into an apartment that is ready to live in from day one.
Homat steps in once the property has been found. The relocation agency manages the residential mobility process. Homat then takes over the furnishing stage, with a furniture rental solution including appliances, tableware and household linen, delivered and installed directly in the home.
This approach allows relocation agencies in Nantes to complete their support without having to manage the furnishing process themselves. The goal is to prevent an employee, expatriate or family from arriving in an empty home when the move needs to be operational from the very first days.
Furniture rental is well suited to the pace of professional mobility. It can be used to equip a home for a few months, for a longer assignment, for a transfer or for a temporary installation before a permanent move.
Homat offers a complete service. Furniture, appliances, tableware and bedding can be made available quickly. Delivery, installation and connection are included in the service. At the end of the assignment, the equipment is collected. This approach reduces the operational workload for the relocation agency and simplifies the occupant’s arrival.
With Homat, the furniture is delivered on site, installed in the home, then collected at the end of the contract. The agency does not have to coordinate several providers or manage the logistics of purchasing, assembly or removal.
In a city like Nantes, this fluidity matters. Residential installation is part of the overall mobility journey. Homat helps relocation agencies in Nantes provide a smooth service right through to the move-in date.
Nantes is a city focused on employment and new ways of working. A ranking published in early 2026, based on a SumUp survey cross-referenced with the Arthur Loyd 2026 barometer, placed the city 6th among French cities where people enjoy working, highlighting its digital and e-commerce environment as well as its positive perception of AI in the workplace.
The city also relies on several sectors that generate residential mobility. The Île de Nantes, for example, is home to a major project with the future university hospital and the health district. According to Nantes Métropole, this district will bring together healthcare, training, research and innovation, with nearly 7,000 students expected in the long term. This type of project generates arrivals of healthcare professionals, researchers, students and mobile staff.
Some Nantes neighbourhoods often appear in relocation journeys: the city centre, as well as Malakoff / Saint-Donatien, valued for its proximity to the SNCF train station and its position as a gateway into the city.
The Île de Nantes is also an area to watch, with the future university hospital and ongoing urban transformations. Hauts-Pavés / Saint-Félix may also suit profiles linked to studies and higher education, as the district extends towards the science campus.
For a relocation agency in Nantes, the choice of area then depends on the pace of the assignment, household type, need for centrality or proximity to the workplace. Homat steps in at this final stage with a simple objective: to furnish the selected home quickly.
Homat works alongside relocation agencies as a furniture partner. The service makes it possible to quickly equip your clients’ homes with a solution that is delivered, installed and collected according to the duration of the assignment.
