Nantes

West of the Cathedral lies the historic medieval quarter of Bouffay, which has retained much of its old charm. A stroll alongside the cobblestone streets and half-timbered houses – some dating back to the 15th century – feels like a jump in time back to the Middle Ages. The place to have a drink with friends!

Addresses of bars and ideas to go out, have a drink, go to concerts and dance in this new part of Nantes, west part of the isle of Nantes, near the Buren art rings.The place to have fun with friends until the end of the night!

Housed in the former LU biscuit factory since the 1st January 2000, the “lieu unique” is a friendly, cultural melting pot, ripe for artistic exploration. It is a place of coming together and as well as its own dedicated creative spaces there are a number of retail activities including: bar, restaurant, bookshop, steam room, nursery.Orphan to her twin tower, lost in 1974, the LU tower was restored to its exact original when the factory was reconverted into a national arts venue. As a symbol of Nantes’ industrial heritage, the tower is once again recognised locally as a figurehead, this time for the lieu unique.

A café/bar in the design of a 1970s house, with a large terrace for the hot summer evenings. Come here to sip a glass of wine on the living room sofa or inside the bathtub.
