LE CHANTIER

Techno and electronic music lovers because used to meet here because it is the place that makes the DJ venue grow in number. With lives, entertainment, musical aperitif: music is in the inner core of Chantier. By the way, it is the main hub of Rennes' electro scene: discover DJs, mix or laptop sessions each week. People come here to listen to an eclectic list of different types of techno schools: electronica, jungle, Trans, dubstep... As you might expect, the place is a real site with traffic cones, signposts and obligatory protective helmets hung here and there. The place has a BTP atmosphere and modern and warm decorations with contemporary paintings are displayed on the walls. The team has endeavoured to make this bar a non-elitist establishment: at lunchtime and in the afternoon, customers of different backgrounds and ages meet here for a snack in the shade of the tall Horizontal tower, an architectural vestige of "thirty glorious years" of Rennes. Without forgetting that this bar is vegan and vegetarian. In the evening, Chantier becomes a party hotspot in the Breton capital and whether you love techno or not, you ought to acknowledge the trendy atmosphere here! Beware of the shooters and prepared rums, they may mislead you especially after a hard-core mix. Quite crowded and very active during the Trans bars, Chantier remains a vital hub for Rennes's DJ, and it should be mentioned that the members of Asian Dub Foundation come to greet Karlo, Nono and Bébert each time they are in Rennes. We like also the various suggestions of the bar: we are always surprised by the exhibitions, the screening, the oral statement. A colourful address you can't pass by just like that...
