LA GERBE DE BLE
This former posting-house in Laval has been a hotel and restaurant ever since the late 18th century. The decoration, on the other hand, is contemporary, featuring modern furniture against a background in shades of ripe wheat. The menu features traditional dishes from land and sea, like scallops or foie gras with pommé (apple butter), typical of the region. Inspired, inventive cuisine that can be enjoyed with your eyes closed, so fresh are the aromas distilled from the fresh ingredients hand-picked from the market by chef Eric Jouanen himself.

HOTEL LA POMMERAYE
Grossard - viaFrance
The advantage of staying in this hotel is being a stone's throw from everything in the city centre: shops, pedestrian zones, monuments, good restaurants, and of course the sumptuous Pommeraye passage…
The hotel sometimes organises exchanges with artists who work to spruce up this establishment which is now an important part of the city's identity.
From the entrance right up to the actual rooms, the decor is sober but stylised - the halls were designed by Antoine Auradon, while a number of rooms were embellished by Estève and Boucheton.

The aim of the establishment is to invite visitors to taste, to explain the quality of the products and to identify the differences between them.

The stained glass produced in this workshop graces buildings both public and private along the Breton coast. Other smaller pieces, known as "cabinet stained glass", are on display in the exhibition gallery outside the studio.

Welcome to the world of the weather-vane! From the most classical to the most original, here is where you will find weather-vanes of every kind, made to measure, made to order, to your own design or from a photograph – nothing is impossible in this workshop. Weather-vanes have existed since the Middle Ages, not only to show which way the wind is blowing but also to indicate the trade of the householder: a rearing horse signified a wayside inn, an ox marked the house of a farmer, a mill that of a miller.
Group visits to the workshop can be arranged (visit lasts 45 minutes). Present-day models are divided into a number of themes: local and regional, sport, cars, the sea, music, or even scenes from everyday life.

LE NORD-SUD
On the sea-front with a south-facing terrace, this delightful brasserie with its smart, contemporary decor offers a menu centred on fish, seafood and scallops. There are two floors, each with its own atmosphere: quieter upstairs, brasserie-style downstairs with a terrace seating 100. The chef's speciality is, as always, the Ronde de Saint-Jacques, a selection of scallop dishes with differing tastes. The food is attractively presented on large plates decorated with dashes of edible colour (condiments, herbs, cordials); if seafood is what you crave, order one of the impressive double-decker seafood platters.

LE QUAI DES MERS
Located in what was once the Trans-Atlantic Passenger Terminal, the restaurant is housed in a marquee which, with its passenger liner-style wooden decking, teak furniture and arm-chairs, gives a certain friendliness and intimacy. The cuisine is classic, mostly based on fish, including a justly famous fish sauerkraut or a home-made paella.
The view out to sea and over the nearby harbour entrance, coupled with the majestic proportions of the listed terminal building, is further enhanced at night by dramatic lighting. It would be easy to imagine yourself a passenger aboard one of the great trans-Atlantic liners, but this is a voyage of discovery to explore new tastes instead.

The menu changes in line with the seasons and specialises, not without a dash of originality, in fish and seafood: hot curried oysters, scallops cooked on the shell in a cep mushroom cream, or pan-fried sea-bass, crêpes parmentières (potato pancakes) with smoked salmon and bacon juice.
The sober decoration in a mixture of beige and bordeaux and the elegant candle-sticks create an intimate feel.

CREPERIE TY A DREUZ
The crêperie occupies one of the island's old stone houses, with something a little odd about it. Ty a dreuz in Breton means "leaning house", and the house does indeed bear a resemblance to the Leaning Tower of Pisa as the result of harmless subsidence.

RESTAURANT PATRICK JEFFROY
This 1930s building on the Carantec peninsula and its panoramic sea views is both a visual and a gourmet delight. The best that land and sea has to offer is as refreshing to the spirit as the bracing sea air. Local ingredients and inventiveness are the two key assets put to very good use by chef Patrick Jeffroy. Pressé d'araignée à la concassée de blé tiède (pressed spider crab with warm crushed wheat), Saint-Jacques aux épices douces (mildly-spiced scallops) make a delightful surprise, and the view is never less than entrancing.

L AUBERGE DU PECHEUR
Close to the jetty and in the heart of the village, the inn basks in a pleasing rustic atmosphere created by its wooden furniture and big tables, exposed beams and red-tiled floors.
In the kitchen, the chef prepares the freshest of the day's catch from the Ile de Groix and Port Trudy: the oysters, lobsters and other crustaceans are fresh beyond compare.
Alongside the inn, a pub-style bar offers a choice of around a hundred different whiskies.

LE GRAND FOUR
The refined cuisine produced by chef Patrice Vételé focuses on fish as a basis for elaborate sauces. Patrice is ably assisted by Sylvain Belouin, who has worked in a number of leading restaurants and offers top-quality fish dishes. All their ingredients are regional, with turbot, sea-bass and monkfish taking pride of place.
Among the specialities of the house, the potato and truffle fondue is unique, and the scallops are remarkable for the finely-worked crustacean stocks used in their preparation.

The food is original and sophisticated, based on fresh ingredients, and the menu changes every five weeks: another good reason to keep coming back! The atmosphere is friendly and the restaurant makes a laudable effort to ensure value for money, its aim being to build up a loyal body of regular customers in search of quality. Quality that is expressed to its full in the scallops or the veal sweetbreads.

For over twenty years, Le Flesselles has been one of those addresses passed on by word of mouth in Nantes. On the ground floor, enjoy light meals or a drink in a 50s setting.
On the first floor, the colourful Tiki Bar skips a decade to the 60s.
You might just happen on a surprise concert at aperitif time, or maybe a DJ set or, on the first Saturday of each month, on a café-philosophie session. Whatever's going on, Le Flesselles is a lively spot, well worth a detour.

BAR DU LIEU UNIQUE
Grossard - viaFrance
In a disused biscuit factory once owned by the LU group, Jean Blaise has created Lieu Unique, preserving the industrial heritage of the brick and concrete plant while imposing his own green and red colour scheme. The result is a vast yet welcoming space that still bears the mark of its history.
Now it houses an attractive bar-restaurant where the evenings are enlivened by excellent DJs or scheduled concerts and where, on fine days, the terrace alongside the Saint-Félix canal is an invitation to relax and simply enjoy life.

This is a venue well worth visiting for the originality of its thoughtfully-designed baroque decoration and for the elegant party atmosphere. The setting is somewhere between lounge bar and restrained, with pale colours and white or brown leather furniture, all set off by pink and violet lighting that gives the K Fé In an almost magical air.
There are two complementary rooms, one relaxing and calm, ideal for starting the evening over a cocktail, and the other is the kingdom of the DJs and electro music. Paintings by local artists on the walls add an artistic touch that is perfectly in keeping.

The enormous fireplace is a welcoming feature of this 17th century building. The tall windows and the walls of Caen stone combine with the gentle background music to create a hushed, peaceful atmosphere.
This is a restaurant that breaks away from traditional cuisine. The inspiration for its sweet and sour combinations comes from Japan, as in the barbecued tiger prawns with ginger and peanuts.
The outside terrace looks onto the pedestrian street in the historic town centre, at the foot of the castle.

Atmosphere and music are designed to transport you to Italy, and to the town of Amalfi in particular, pictured in the frescoes adorning the walls. The pizza oven, the Holy Grail of any self-respecting Italian pizzeria, is on full view to customers in the restaurant itself.

LE FRENCH CAFE
The bar is a reconstruction of a typical town square in Provence with an added flavour of the flea-market: items in the "junk-shop" section are actually for sale (old clocks, mirrors, chandeliers, juke-boxes, etc.), while clients at the bar take shelter under the branches of a tree whose branches disappear into the ceiling.
Try a "Vallée d'Auge" cocktail (calvados, praline and fresh cream) in the lounge area with its teak furniture, sofas, benches and pouffes, set off by mosaic tables and a real, old-time zinc bar counter.
