The banks of the Erdre and the Ile de Versailles are highly prized for their beauty and tranquility. Not far away, and easy to spot, a blue and white barge is moored next to the Pont Saint-Michel, and its friendly freshwater sailors offer you a warm welcome and a small seasonal menu. This Nantes barge will let you breathe in the fresh air of the river, and might just tempt you to devour a nice grilled rib of beef, or, as the boat obliges, a lobster and its white butter.

The Nantes barge and floating guinguette Le Petit Baigneur, moored on the Canal Saint-Félix opposite Le Lieu Unique, is one of the terraces you won't want to miss! A real floating guinguette where you can gather around large tables to share concerts, brass bands and dance steps. All with the option of nibbling and sipping a drink!

Le Bateau Lavoir is one of Nantes' must-visit addresses, and one of the city's favorite barges, once the fine weather arrives. This bar-restaurant on the banks of the Erdre, on the Quai Ceineray, is the ideal place to grab a bite to eat at lunchtime, enjoy an aperitif with your feet in the water, and take advantage of its great musical program on Sundays.

After serving the people of Nantes in several bars around the city, Yann and Cris decided to join forces and open their own establishment on a Nantes barge. Looking for something exotic, they came up with La Casa, a Caribbean-inspired bar located on a barge in the heart of Nantes. La Casa aims to promote social and cultural links between Nantes and the Caribbean, in an atypical setting that invites travel.
