The HAB Gallery
Head to the Île de Nantes, just a few minutes from the famous Machines of the Isle, to discover the HAB Galerie, a contemporary art gallery that will undoubtedly appeal to art lovers!
Over 1,400 m² in a raw and industrial setting, you’ll discover exhibitions as part of the Voyage à Nantes, with themes that change throughout the year.
Until September 17, the HAB Galerie showcases the artist Barthélémy Toguo and his exhibition “Habiter la Terre” (“Inhabiting the Earth”), featuring monumental sculptures, engravings, watercolors, and video installations.
After visiting the exhibition, don’t miss browsing the gallery’s shop-bookstore. Art books, stationery, posters, children's books... so many great gift ideas to take home from your stay in Nantes!
Good to know: entry to the HAB Galerie is free during exhibition periods. You can check the schedule on the gallery’s website.
Set down your bags in the heart of Nantes, just a five-minute walk from Passage Pommeraye and Place Graslin. It’s a joy to get around Nantes without a car!
You’ll also enjoy the many services offered by our Best Western hotel in Nantes:
Our 47 rooms, decorated around the works of Jules Verne, can accommodate up to 5 people. Each of our 47 rooms is designed for your comfort and inspired by Jules Verne’s stories.
After a good night's sleep, enjoy a delicious breakfast in our bright dining room. You're now ready to explore Nantes!
At the end of the day, treat yourself to a drink in our bar in a friendly atmosphere. Will you choose a locally brewed Nantes beer or a glass of wine from the Nantes vineyard? The bartender can also prepare your favorite hot drink!
