Quai des Antilles, Riverfront area in Île de Nantes, France
The Quai des Antilles extends 500 meters along the Loire River at the western tip of Île de Nantes, featuring wide pedestrian walkways and cycling paths.
Built between 1902 and 1904, this port area received banana imports from French Caribbean territories until the decline of maritime commerce in the late 20th century.
Daniel Buren's metal rings installation, created in 2007, forms a series of illuminated structures that line the riverbank, marking the transformation of industrial space.
The area contains 100 parking spaces near the quay and 350 additional spots at the nearby Quai Wilson, with direct access to bus line 5.
The preserved historical elements include original cobblestones and rails from the industrial era, integrated into the modern recreational space design of 2007.
