Port in France; capital of Loire-Atlantique department (6)

I believe the answer is:

nantes

(Other definitions for nantes that I've seen before include "Site of historic drownings" , "City on the Loire, associated with 1598 edict ending the French Wars of Religion" , "port abroad" , "Western French port" , "French FC" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
