THE LAST INTERNATIONALE

February 6 at 8:30pm

BERTRAND BELIN

BERTRAND BELIN

February 6 at 8:30pm

CARRE D'ARGENT - PONT CHATEAU · Pontchâteau

Stabat Mater

Stabat Mater

February 7 at 4pm

Cathédrale de Nantes · Decré • 10-20 €

Nelson

Nelson

February 8 at 4:30pm

La Bouche d'Air - Salle Paul Fort · Decré • 10 €

Performances

Impro Contenders

Impro Contenders

Sat, Feb 6 · 6:00 PM

Mystère Impro Club · Nantes • 5 €

Watch Nantes' sharpest improvisers battle head-to-head for the championship belt. The 1v1 format keeps things competitive and completely unpredictable: no scripts, no safety nets, just quick wits and big laughs in a cozy bar setting.

ELISABETH BUFFET

ELISABETH BUFFET

February 6 at 8pm

La Compagnie Du Café-Théâtre Nantes · Decré

Elisabeth Buffet turns her romantic disasters into comedy gold. From swingers' parties to dining in the dark, no dating catastrophe is too awkward to mine for laughs in this confessional one-woman show.

VIOLAINE DE PIN DE CAUCALIERES - VIOLAINE DE PINS DE CAUCALIERES

February 6 at 6:45pm

COMPAGNIE DU CAFE THEATRE - PETITE SALLE · Decré

A self-described survivor of the French and digital revolutions takes the stage at Compagnie du Café Théâtre as Violaine de Pins de Caucalières explores the absurdities of aristocracy in the twenty-first century through stand-up comedy, opera, rap, and poetry.

MOGUIZ « COUCOU ! »

MOGUIZ « COUCOU ! »

February 6 at 8pm

Parc des Expositions · La Renaudière • 29-45 €

Moguiz, the social media phenomenon known for his spot-on improvised characters, brings his viral gallery to life on stage. "Coucou!" blends his journey with the teachers, secretaries, and parents audiences love online.

Art & Museums

Constant Struggle

Constant Struggle

Every day at 12pm

L'Atelier · Saint-Clément

Four artists turn everyday objects into quiet acts of defiance. Inspired by Angela Davis, this free exhibition explores rights, equity, and finding beauty in collective struggle.

L'eau est là

L'eau est là

Every day at 10am

Square Jean-Baptiste-Daviais · Decré

Wander freely through overlapping sound layers of collected resident stories, each fragment shifting as your position changes. Dominique Petitgand's 24-speaker installation turns Square Daviais into a living memory of water where the city itself becomes part of the composition.

Ce que la terre retient

Ce que la terre retient

Every day at 11:30am

Passage Sainte-Croix · Decré

Caroline Le Méhauté sculpts Nantes soil into urgent ecological art. Take home seeds from her Tellus project and start your own patch of restoration.

La Machine du Sacré

La Machine du Sacré

Every day at 3:30pm and 5:30pm

Place Félix Fournier · Decré

Ali Cherri's monumental installation reimagines the musician angels from Saint-Nicolas Basilica as fragments of industrial aluminum wings and trumpets, set against a fragile earth head. The open wooden scaffolding evokes a ruin in progress, asking what remains when monuments lose their pedestals.

Carnival in other cities

Frequently asked questions

How are these carnival in Loire-Atlantique chosen?

I go through what's actually on nearby and keep only the ones worth the trip. Nobody pays to be on this list.

Is this list up to date?

Finished events drop off the list. Check the listing for times and booking details before heading out.

How can Outgoing help me find something I’ll actually want to do?

Tell me when you’re free, where you’ll be, and what sounds appealing. “Live music near me, somewhere I can sit, under $30” gives me more to work with than “something fun.” You can keep narrowing it down with me.

Do I need an account to use Outgoing?

You can browse these pages without an account. Sign in to save activities and help me learn your taste, so future suggestions have a better starting point.

Is Outgoing free?

Outgoing is free to use. Events have their own admission prices, including some that are free. Check the listing for prices and booking details before making plans.
