Little Atlantique Brewery opens its Bas-Chantenay brewhouse in Nantes one Saturday a month, ninety minutes closing on beers poured against cheese.
Tip: Slots run on the first Saturday of the month at 15:00 or 17:00, closed-toe shoes are required and no cancellation is allowed.
Nantes sur un plateau is the short Les Épicuriens walk in Nantes, ninety minutes from the cathedral to Place Royale over seven regional tastings.
Tip: Roughly thirty minutes of the ninety is spent walking, so the pace suits a morning before lunch rather than a full day out.
Nantes sensorielle is the long Les Épicuriens food tour of Nantes, five hours and fourteen tastings from a fine grocer to a chocolate maker.
Tip: About an hour and a half of the five is walking, so this is the version to book when you want the day itself to be the outing.
Do Eat Better runs its Galette and Muscadet tour of Nantes from Place Graslin, three and a half hours of buckwheat, seafood and fondant baulois.
Tip: Departures are at 10:30 from Tuesday to Saturday, so it doubles as lunch; the meeting point is the fountain, not the opera steps.
