Discover Le Lieu Unique in Nantes
Just 2 hours from Paris, Nantes is full of treasures, among which Le Lieu Unique occupies a special place.
Housed in the former LU factory, this atypical cultural center appeals to both the people of Nantes and passing visitors.
Between industrial heritage and innovative artistic programming, Le Lieu Unique is an essential stop during your getaway to Nantes.
The history of Le Lieu Unique is inseparable from that of the famous LU biscuit factory (Lefèvre-Utile).
Founded in 1886, this factory built by a dynasty of pastry chefs has left its mark on several generations of children thanks to its emblematic biscuits, particularly the Petit-Beurre.
In the heart of Nantes, the imposing industrial building flanked by its 35-meter tower has become a symbol of the flagship of Nantes' industrialization.
After the factory closed in the 1980s, the site underwent a spectacular metamorphosis. It first became a hotel and then a cultural squat.
It was transformed in 2000, as part of the “Nantes, cultural capital” project, under the name Lieu Unique, a space dedicated to contemporary creation.
Today, Le Lieu Unique stands out for its eclectic programming that combines visual arts, theater, music, dance and literature.
Every year, it hosts exhibitions, shows and festivals to the delight of visitors.
One of the most emblematic elements of the site is the LU Tower, a vestige of the old factory.
Restored, it offers an exceptional panorama of Nantes and will allow you to admire the city from a new angle!
You can also discover archive images or posters there.
Beyond its cultural offering, Le Lieu Unique is also a friendly space where the people of Nantes like to meet.
Its café-brasserie is popular for its relaxed atmosphere. You can even see a hammam and a bookstore there.
