There is on-site parking at the Stade de la Beaujoire which can be accessed via Rue de Saint-Joseph, but the vast majority of these spaces are reserved for corporate personnel or business club members, with the exception of disabled visitors, who are eligible to park on the stadium site, free of charge. Disabled-accessible car parking is located on the south-east side of the venue, a 250 m (3 min) walk from the stadium turnstiles; it can be accessed via Avenue de la Gare de Saint-Joseph. Spaces are generally allocated on a first-come, first-served basis, so disabled visitors are encouraged to arrive early, in order to guarantee a space.

There are free bike racks located on the east side of Car Park S2BC, which is situated on the west side of the stadium. These can be accessed via Route de Saint-Joseph, or the small car park access road which runs along the south side of the stadium.

Walking to the stadium from Nantes city centre can take over an hour, so it may be more convenient to take public transport part or all of the way, instead. From the north side of the city, travelling on foot is a more viable option; it takes less than 30 minutes to walk to the stadium from the communes of La Noé Blanche, Nantes Erdre, or Saint-Joseph de Porterie, for example.
