THE SINGLE PLACE
Read moreLocated in the former Lu biscuit factory, this multidisciplinary artistic space has become the city's emblematic cultural den, envied nationally and internationally. With a performance hall, a modular exhibition space and workshops on the upper floors, it explores visual arts, theatre, dance, circus, music, literature, philosophy, architecture and gustatory arts, all in an effervescent atmosphere and a warm mix of cultures and audiences. The Unique Place also has a bar, a restaurant, a bookshop, a hammam and offers a visit to the LU Tower. More than a cultural place, a real place to live! Check the website for the agenda.
HOLY CROSS
Read morePerhaps you have passed by this building many times without ever noticing it? And yet... At the initiative of the diocese of Nantes, the Passage Sainte-Croix opened its doors at the end of 2010. It is the link between the Place Sainte-Croix and the Rue de la Bâclerie, in the heart of the Bouffay district. It is now through a very nice medieval garden that one can access this cultural center open to all, which aims to be a place of dialogue, education, reflection and culture. It offers many activities for the general public: heritage and contemporary art exhibitions, live performances, meetings and debates (Midis de Sainte-Croix, Samedis du Passage, conferences, round tables, film debates). But also guided tours and workshops for adults, activities for young people and an educational offer for schools. In just a few years, the Passage Sainte-Croix has become a full-fledged player in the cultural life of Nantes, partner of the Voyage à Nantes, the Folle Journée, the Photographic Fortnight... Note that the rooms of the Passage Sainte-Croix can be privatized: the patio (116m2), the priory (70m2), the workshop (67m2).
