Nightlife and Entertainment in Nantes

Nantes Nightlife is as classic as the historical sights found within the city and as modern as today’s nightclubs around the world. You can dine in luxury and dance the night away or you can take in a show or spend the night on the wild side. Festivals and music concerts can always be found in the city for the price of a ticket.

There is nothing like seeing Nantes from the river. You will start your cruise when the captain calls to cast off. Live music is provided as you begin your meal as you are cruising down the river. You will be treated to fine foods specially prepared by the on-board chef--duck, shrimp, wonderfully rich soups, and fish. You will have your choice of the entrees and desserts. The magic begins with the first note from the band and continues on throughout the cruise and on into the night.

Nightclubs and pubs are the hottest spots around. You can find yourself rubbing elbows with people you have never met before. Enjoy lively music while you dance the night away or enjoy the intimacy of the many pubs that can be found. You can even find a nightclub in buildings that used make great biscuits. You can find nightclubs doubling as art galleries and live concerts venues. You will have a great time making new friends and dancing or simply enjoying the more laid-back feel of the pubs. You can even find a few after-hours' clubs to party in through the night.

Nantes nightlife can get pretty wild with an overnight safari at the Planete Sauvage. After the zoo closes for the day, things get heated up for those who spend the night in a bivouac camp under the stars. You will spend the night participating in bringing the animals in at night, and getting you up close and personal with the wild beasts of nature. You will camp among the zebras and antelopes and share a meal and stories by the camp fire. In the morning you will get to eat breakfast and head back on in to the park.

The Jazz Festival at the end of August is a great time to spend an evening or two with the locals, enjoying good music in a friendly, laid-back atmosphere. The Endre River comes to life for three days and it is a grand party. The scenery is beautiful and the party is happening. It is a great way to spend the evening.
