What to do in Nantes this summer

Nantes is a lively city with an eclectic programme during the summer season

With the sun shining late into the evening, locals and visiting tourists alike can get together in good spirits for a great season full of activities.

 

Bottière beach

Until 25 August

For several years now, the square in front of the Maison de quartier Bottière has been known as Bottière plage during the summer months in eastern Nantes.

Young and old alike can relax on the deckchairs provided, soaking up the sun and the mild Nantes climate.

Free entertainment is provided for all ages. Inflatable games, pétanque, workshops... Summer promises to be a great time at Bottière plage.

 

The travelling straw hut

Until 25 August

The Accoord centres and the city of Nantes are pooling their skills to offer a new edition of the Paillote voyageuse.

Over the two months of the summer, the paillote travels to a number of districts in the east of Nantes for eight evenings of concerts.

There's a place for all styles and all tastes. It's a great way to liven up every suburb of Nantes and provide entertainment for those staying in the city this summer.

 

Events on the Erdre

28 August to 3 September 2023

End the summer in style with some jazz.

Every year, Les Rendez-vous de l'Erdre is a chance to get together with friends and reminisce about the summer holidays, and listen to some live music.
