Every day at 10am
Square Jean-Baptiste-Daviais · Decré

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.
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.

I go through what's actually on nearby and keep only the ones worth the trip. Nobody pays to be on this list.
Finished events drop off the list. Check the listing for times and booking details before heading out.
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.
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.
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.
