by chess_machine One of the beer temple of Nantes and a high spot for Britain culture. Huge amount of beer, more than a hundreds still I have not tasted 'em all. And a definite must do for people who are interested by Britain culture - the bar has a small Britan library, plays some Britain music and... makes you test some Britan beer. The place is always quite full. Full, not packed.

by chess_machine Is there an After in Nantes? Well, sometimes you may wonder, for the city has very few places to go after most bars close at 2am. Le Marlowe is one of them. I am not telling you it is the best place ever. It is not. The music is average and the prices are really hicgh for Nantes (minimum 7-8 euros for a drink after 2am). Still, after 2am, you may spend a good time there. The music is danceable, it is always quite crowded, some nice girls and boys. The average age is probably 30. Still, you have many 20-30ers. A good adress for those who are having fun and dont want to stop at 2am.
There are bouncers at the entrance but I have never seen them being really uptight about clothes. Leave a Comment Theme: OtherAddress: 1 place Saint VincentDirections: Near Le Bouffay

by sandravdp In the evening there are several places you can go to: enjoying a good meal at a restaurant (French eat late, especially in summer), go to the cinema, visit a bar or disco or enjoy theatre or singing at the Opera Houses (yes , it's on the picture). Leave a Comment Theme: Theater

by chess_machine Webb Ellis is a pub where South West is the main actor. South West is the France main region for rugby, maybe because it has had so many connections with the British. Webb Ellis celebrates the South West very well. Good food (please taste some meals there, they are cheap and great, like goat cheese with berry jam on toasted bread). The beer is good. The atmosphere is nice. Good people. Not really the most trash place you will see. Only ordinary people talking, watching sports when there is a game, getting drunk and chatting up very rarely.
Casual, but the owners sometimes wear kilts (and do not wear underwears, as we have checked recently). Leave a Comment Theme: OtherAddress: rue SanteuilDirections: City center, 2 minutes walking from Place Graslin

by chess_machine Nantes is a quite big city but lacks a major concert hall. Last huge concert was U2 in 1992 or something like that, who rented the soccer statium on their Zooropa tour. Thing is there was a major soccer game on TV the same day and they did not booked the entire stadium and since then nobody rents the stadium anymore... probably because it is also too expensive. Anyway, their is a project for a major concert hall to be build in the next years. Before this event, you can go the several good concert halls. I know few of them but here is a list: - Trocardičre: one of the biggest. Saw one show and the hall is pretty good. Around 1000 people. Dont know enough about sound system to tell you if the sound is perfect or just good, but to me it sounded "good". - L'Olympic. Very nice hall, used to be a cinema. Quite small, probably 500 people. Very indie programmation, which I like. Went once there to see le Festival des Inrocks (les Inrocks is THE indie magazine in France), with Joseph Arthur, Phoenix, Sigur Ros and another guy. - Pannonica. Never been there but it is the most famous jazz concert hall. - La Bouche d'Air. Eclectic concert hall. Great place if you want to discover new French music. No, French music is not only Edith Piaf, even though her songs are sometimes magical... - Le Lieu Unique. Quite underground, even though it has now became an establishement place of underground culture... And probably some other good places that I have forgotten. Leave a Comment Theme: Live Music

by chess_machine LU is abbreviation for "Lieu Unique", "Unique Place" and the owners not lied on the "customer promess". LU is unique. Used to be the old factory for extremely famous Nantes' homemade biscuits, les Petits Beurres. So, the place itself is a must see, with its tower and logo overheading a small part of the city. LU is the heart of contemporary culture in Nantes, with photo exhibitions, concerts, techno nights... Underground still everybody knows it and it does not have the snobbish atmosphere of some underground places. If you like experiences, it is a great place to go. It is cheap, the programs are sometimes of extremely high quality and is definitely a place that gives Nantes' nightlife personality.

Every year, during August's last weekend, tehre is a cool and enjoyable jazz festival along the Erdre. No real famous jazzmen but a good atmosphere. Some "buvettes" to enjoy drinking a beer or some ron while listening to nice jazz on a great place. The Erdre river wasnt really a place to go out at night but no starts to be a good place. During these three days, it definitely is the heart of the city at night. Young people and not so young get on at the same party. Really a good festival and an interesting way to see the city differently. Leave a Comment Theme: OtherAddress: Quartier Saint Mihiel, along the Erdre

by nicolaspelon If you like sports, and especially soccer and if you are visiting Nantes between August and April...you are lucky! You can try to attend one of Nantes soccer team game on a Saturday night...The stadium can receive more than 30,000 people and it hosts one of the best French soccer team: Nantes has been 7times 1st league champion and the latest titles were won in 1995 and 2001 (plus 2 French cups in 1999 and 2000)

 Nightclub in Nantes by myrtle Le Loft has fun music & a great atmosphere. Try the bi?re ? la p?che (peach beer). Sometimes the music can be a little too disco-y for my taste, but the Europeans really seem to like that type of music.
No jeans, no t-shirts, no tennis shoes (or trainers if you're British). Leave a Comment Theme: Nightclub
