Hangar à bananes, Former banana warehouse on Île de Nantes, France.
The Hangar à Bananes spans 7,800 square meters along the Loire River, featuring restaurants, bars, a theater, and exhibition spaces.
Built in 1901 and reconstructed in 1949, the warehouse stored bananas from Guinea and other African nations until the early 1970s.
The HAB Gallery inside the warehouse presents contemporary art exhibitions and maintains a specialized bookstore focused on art and architecture.
Visitors can access the venue via the C5 Chronobus line, which operates until 3:00 AM on weekends, with free parking available nearby.
Daniel Buren's permanent art installation of illuminated rings lines the quay in front of the warehouse, creating light reflections on the Loire River.
