This neighbourhood can be appreciated any time, day or night. How wonderful it is to walk through Place Graslin, with its majestic theatre, or Place Royale, where its monumental fountain acts as a meeting place for locals! Graslin, which can be located almost anywhere in the city, thanks to the 85-metre (280-foot) tall white spire of its Basilique Saint-Nicolas — a neo-Gothic church built in 1854 Graslin Square and its theatre, is named after Jean Joseph Louis Graslin, a very important public figure at the end of the 18th Century who extended the city centre of Nantes and built the theatre.

The « Gâteau Nantais » is a specialty of Nantes from the 18th century.

These new ingredients inspired a fouacier from Nantes who imagined a cake for sailors on long voyages
