Lonely Planet review

No visit to Nantes is complete without a café and cake or all-out feast at the Art Nouveau showpiece, La Cigale - several salons of original 1890s gilded tilework and frescoed ceilings, attended by white-apronned waiters. The name comes from the cautionary fable of the cigale (cicada) and the ant, in which the cicada is too busy enjoying himself to plan for the winter ahead. But this lavish brasserie embraces the cicada wholeheartedly - just allow plenty of time to savour the experience.
