Le Petit Baigneur Nantes, Bar and restaurant on Saint-Felix Canal in Nantes, France.
Le Petit Baigneur is a floating restaurant and bar on Saint-Félix Canal in Nantes with a fully glassed room directly at water level and a rooftop terrace above. The spaces accommodate large groups and create two different settings for dining and drinking with different views of the canal.
The name and concept come from Robert Dhery's film, transforming the idea of a traditional French guinguette into a modern, floating venue in central Nantes. This blend of film history and contemporary design shapes the place's identity.
The restaurant connects with Nantes through regional products, serving local beers and wines from the Loire area. Visitors can taste what the city values and how its food traditions shape the place.
The venue sits on Quai Malakoff and is easy to reach from downtown, with space for groups up to 100 people. The best time to visit is during the day or early evening when light on the water is most pleasant.
Guests can bring their own food and drinks while enjoying the panoramic view from the rooftop terrace. The space is decorated with light garlands and colorful flags, making it a special setting for social gatherings.
