The Best Brunches in Nantes
Nantes has a deserved reputation as one of the best places to live in France, and indeed in the whole of Europe. In addition to its cultural and technological achievements, the city is also home to a thriving culinary scene, of which brunch is a celebrated part rather than an afterthought tacked onto the end of restaurant menus. Here we list some of the best brunch spots in the area.
