LIBRAIRIE MACHINES DE L'ÎLE ET CAFÉ DE LA BRANCHE
Under the Nantes naves, you can see the elephant and its famous barrissement, the Galerie des Machines and its strange animals, or the branch of the Arbre aux hérons (Heron Tree). Do not miss during your visit to the Machines library. Situated under the branch of the Arbre aux hérons, in the continuity of the café, its booksellers work to offer tourists passing through and the people of Nantes a fine selection of books. Of course, there are many tracks about Nantes "celebrities": Jacques Demy, Julien Gracq, Jules Verne and of course the Machines de l'île. But the bookshop is above all a generalist with a selection of French and foreign novels. A youth department worthy of the name and also themes such as the performing arts, travel, botany, cinema, urban planning or science fiction. Finally, there's a section of literature for teenagers. Glued here and there, "favourites" can be seen in novels or essays that these passionate readers would like to share with you. And of course, all the products derived from the Machines: posters, magnets, T-shirts or postcards.
