This fun and lively restaurant was created for the 2013 edition of Le Voyage, and is now on the menu every summer.
A popular hangout for locals and a surprising, festive discovery for visitors, La Cantine du Voyage has become a must-visit spot, with its dining areas, large bar, and the kid-friendly play zone, La Colline.
The Cantine’s staff has created a new set menu of roasted free-range Ancenis chicken (Label Rouge), fries, and a drink (vegetarian option available), along with delicious homemade desserts.
Le Potager de la Cantine (the Cantine’s vegetable garden) has reinvented urban farming in Nantes. At the origin of its design, maintenance, and harvests is Olivier Durand – a household name to the greatest chefs. Le Potager is home to Lilian Bourgeat’s work Invendus-Bottes: a humorous, allegorical vision of a market gardener who left one of their working tools behind.
#LVAN works of art
Appelle moi Papa
La Cantine du Voyage has been styled by Nantes-based studio Appelle moi Papa, drawing inspiration from fruit market aesthetics: simple forms, stripes, motifs… Its colourful visual language highlights the space and reflects the passage of time through a palimpsest of layered graphics. In doing so, they have given the Cantine a new visual identity, with a large mural behind the Naves, a sunset over La Colline, and other colourful surprises throughout the space.
Nantes is transforming
Nantes is changing to become an even more ecological, inclusive, and dynamic city. To do this, new public works will reinforce our already existing ecofriendly modes of transport: new tram lines, green zones for pedestrians and cyclists, and more. From 2024, these major urban projects will disrupt traffic around Les Machines de l’Île and Parc des Chantiers, with the Pont Anne-de-Bretagne bridge closed off to cars (the bridge will remain accessible to pedestrians and cyclists). Solutions will be offered throughout construction to make it easier for everyone to get around, like: increased frequency of several public transport lines, more Naolib bike-share bicycles, and more parking spots in park-and-ride lots.
