The 2022/2023 season brought change to the ONPL, as it welcomed Sascha Goetzel as Music Director for the next 4 seasons. In 2023, he embarks on his second year with an attractive program and a new Europe Music Edition. A season of 32 programs. The ONPL choir will be in the spotlight, performing requiems by Mozart and Verdi. The choir will also be on hand for Heritage Days. There's also the opening concert with Franco-Serbian violinist Nemanja Radulovic, the Romantics with pianist Marie-Ange Nguci, Mozart's Requiem revisited by Pierre-Henri Dutron... and so much more to discover!

During the lunch break, you can also take advantage of our fantastic Pauses-concert series, featuring 45 minutes of music performed by a small group of musicians. Everyone will be able to vibrate to the sound of the music told by this talented orchestra, whose main mission is to create emotions. The promise of great moments in the company of the ONPL!

What if you turned into Sherlock Holmes for the time of an investigation? Are you ready? Go to La Ligue des Gentlemen to take part in a live escape game, in other words a life-size game. La Ligue is one of the very first escape games to be created in Nantes. The gentlemen will welcome you in a uniform adapted to your mission. A room opened in April 2023 at 6, rue du Guesclin (mission Haut Vol). Depending on the game you choose, these charming master gamers (MG) will give you an appointment on one or the other site. On the practical side, this escape game is accessible after having constituted your team (friends, colleagues, family) from 2 to 6 people. You can choose from 7 missions: "LU" or how to get your hands on the original recipe of Petit Lu in 1897; or "Feydeau". The principle remains the same: 1 hour watch in hand to get out of the room or rooms and solve the enigma. Each mission takes place in a dedicated space, with careful decoration. You have to observe, think, use logic and agility to find keys, codes and other mechanisms. The experience is of course fun, even if you don't always manage to get out before the hour! The Gentlemen's welcome lives up to its name!

If it was at the beginning in 1916 a neighborhood dance hall, the Concorde is today an institution of the Zola and Chantenay neighborhoods, that Fanny and Sylvain Clochard keep alive 365 days a year.

Young audience screenings are regularly offered. A single common point: quality! For more than 100 years, the Concorde has been telling us stories, for our greatest pleasure! The cinema will even expand in 2027!

Jérôme welcomes you to his parallel world, a zero-alcohol cellar at the foot of the Grue Jaune. The warm, colorful space has been designed with the codes of a cellar in mind, to showcase a fine selection of 350 non-alcoholic beverage references. You had to think about it. The rumcito (rum, ginger and lime) is worth a detour, but it's not the only one. The softs are just as sparkling and the beers, always alcohol-free (a nice alternative), are bursting with flavor. As are the de-alcoholized wines and flavored varietal juices. For lunch or dinner, there's charcuterie, crackers and spreads with hummus or organic vegetables. But you can also treat yourself in the artisanal grocery store. On offer: sausages, spreads, meat, vegetable and fish terrines.

This is the inescapable bar in Nantes, in the colours of Andalusia: barrels, mosaics tables, suspended meats broadcast its smoked ham smells which stir the envy of pick in its tapas trays in platillos, banderillas or croquettas: sausage, serrano, patatas bravan, combinados del Mar and so on! To test its alcoholic specialities: La Madeleine à la pêche, the Jacqueline to the papacy or its famous sangria, but of course porron. Because here, the challenge is to know how to drink by the beak the spout of this special pitcher without putting aside, then to play! Encounter by salsa music, we think almost in the south, when the beautiful Nantes does not make its wet whims.
