Le Nid – Nantes

Le Nid is home to an enormous white bird – half-stork, half-heron – who sleepily watches over the city, and its reassuring presence invites spectators to come contemplate the view. Its broad body also doubles as a bar. As if leaping out of a Jean Jullien drawing, gigantic eggshells transform into seats and tables and, on the walls, the artist’s hand has immortalized the city’s emblematic spots on bright posters.
