Loire-Atlantique: a tavern opens near the Nantes-Brest canal

The Gatherer. The name sounds like a peaceful place, on the edge of the Nantes-Brest canal, in the town of Nort-sur-Erdre (Loire Atlantique).

A place that attracts “a lot of locals” but also “a lot of cycle tourists, walkers” according to Jeanne, co-manager.

Loire-Atlantique: a tavern opens near the Nantes-Brest canal

There is no doubt that here we had a good time among the trees. Installed at the Cramezeul lock since 2018, the guinguette offers a lot of activities and also serves as a bakery.

This season, the co-managers Jeanne and Camille offer a refreshment bar and organic products in their tavern. Concerts and activities are planned throughout the summer.

A gourmet tavern

For its gourmet tavern, La Cueilleuse would like to share ulocal and responsible cuisine. She offers bread, toast, pancakes and homemade cakes.

Visitors will be able to come and taste their products as well as recipes made with local products. On the menu, you can find roasted camemberts, aperitif boards, pizza-style toasts and many more.

“We cook mainly with local ingredients. We offer products that come from different producers in the region” indicates Jeanne, co-manager.

For drinks, muscadet, red wine and local beer are offered. There are also homemade non-alcoholic drinks.

Concerts, shows and festivals

From May to September, La Cueilleuse will be lively during its evenings. On the program: jazz concerts, rap, electro, theater, creative market and feminist weekend.

“We try to offer an eclectic program” emphasizes Jeanne. The co-manager is counting in particular on the concert of Toulouse rapper HYL, on Sunday June 23 at 5 p.m., to bring people together at the Cramezeul lock.

From September 6 to 8, 2024, Camille and Jeanne are also organizing the fourth edition of the Les Remous feminist festival. During this weekend, workshops, screenings, concerts and other activities are planned.

Open the rest of the year

After its summer season, La Cueilleuse continues its main activity for preparing artisanal breads. All year round, Camille, a baker, is installed in her bakery located at the back of

the lock keeper’s house. There she prepares “naturally leavened bread, kneaded by hand and baked in a wooden oven”.

Crepespancakes and other delicacies are also available for sale.
