Tour Bretagne – Le Nid
Tour Bretagne
The top-floor observation deck of Nantes' tallest building, where the artist-designed 'Nest' bar offers 360-degree views over the city and the Loire.
Tour Bretagne stands about 144 metres tall and was completed in 1976. Its 32nd-floor observation deck was transformed by artist Jean-Julien into the 'Nest' (Le Nid) bar, where egg-shaped seats and a giant bird sculpture add playful charm. From here you get 360-degree views of the castle, the cathedral, the Loire and Nantes Island. Entry is free; drinks are paid separately. Opening hours are limited and often change, so check the official website before you go. It is in the city centre, about a 5-minute walk from Place Royale.
