Nantes — France (58/62 · 93.55%)
Every French city has a tourism office calling it the most liveable place in France and a forum thread saying the opposite. This is an instrument instead of an opinion.
62 questions. Seven Zen pillars. One Practical Foundation. The same yes/no questions asked of every city, in the same order, against the same thresholds — Restore, Move, Nourish, Sacred, Nature, Eco, and Community as the lens, with the Practical Foundation (visa, tax treaty, healthcare access, affordability, property, safety) as the ground the pillars stand on.
Nantes scores 58/62 — 93.55%. Four flagged items, all of them geographic and permanent: no hot springs, no waterfall, no mountains, and a night sky the city itself washes out. Every civic and cultural question answers YES — including an alternative wellness scene that Saumur, by contrast, could not offer at all. Every question carries one sentence of factual rationale — no venue names, no softening — so you can hold Nantes directly against Angers, Paris, Saumur, and Lille, with more cities added as they're completed.
Built for people deciding where in France to retire or relocate.
The Scorecard decides. The Guide reveals. Any city scoring 88% or higher also earns a Zen to Live Guide. Nantes has one.
